Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Holy Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) once asked his Companions: “Do you know who is a pauper?” The Companions replied that a pauper is a person who had no money or property. The Holy Prophet (may Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him) elucidating the point said: “A pauper from among my followers (Ummah) is one who will come on the Day of Judgement with a record of Salah (Prayers) and Sawm (fasting) and Zakat (payment of poor due) but also he had abused somebody, slandered someone, usurped the goods of another person, had killed someone or beaten yet another person. Then all the oppressed persons will receive a part of the aggressor’s good deeds. Should his good deeds fall short (of his aggression), then the aggrieved person’s sins and faults will be transferred from them to him, and he will be thrown into the Fire (of Hell). (Muslim)
