و درود خدا بر او فرمود: آن کس که با دست کوتاه ببخشد، از دستی بلند پاداش گیرد. (معنی سخن این است که آنچه انسان از اموال خود در راه خیر و… Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: He who gives with his short hand is given by a long hand. Al-Sayyid al-Radi says: The meaning…
وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): مَنْ يُعْطِ بِالْيَدِ الْقَصِيرَةِ يُعْطَ بِالْيَدِ الطَّوِيلَةِ.
قال الرضي: و معني ذلك أن ما ينفقه المرء من ماله في سبيل الخير و البر و إن كان يسيرا فإن الله تعالي يجعل الجزاء عليه عظيما كثيرا و اليدان هاهنا عبارة عن النعمتين ففرق (عليه السلام) بين نعمة العبد و نعمة الرب تعالي ذكره بالقصيرة و الطويلة فجعل تلك قصيرة و هذه طويلة لأن نعم الله أبدا تضعف علي نعم المخلوق أضعافا كثيرة إذ كانت نعم الله أصل النعم كلها فكل نعمة إليها ترجع و منها تنزع
Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, said: He who gives with his short hand is given by a long hand. Al-Sayyid al-Radi says: The meaning of this saying is that even though what a man spends in charity from his possessions may be small, yet Allah, the Sublime, gives good reward for it. And the two hands referred to, here means two favours. Thus, Amir al-Mu'minin has differentiated between the favour of man and the favour of the Lord (Allah) - exalted be the mention of His name - since he has described the first as small and the otheras big. This is because the favours of Allah are ever multiplied manifold to the favours of man since Allah's favours are basic in the sense that every other favour springs from it and turns to it.
