Three Paradoxes

How many would deny that..
-taking loans is more profitable than private equity for being tax-friendly -that our money doesn't actuallyincrease if we give in charity. And
-if we suffer silently, nobody would ever take us seriously so we speak upagainst every injustice to make us feel important..

Prophet (peace be upon him) knew how hard it is to deny the seen realities and believe in the unseen ones, so he is swearing to emphasize their reality in this insightful hadith.

Abu Kabshah Al-Anmari narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:

"There are three things which I can swear to: "The wealth of a slave (of Allah) shall not be decreased by charity, no slave (of Allah) suffers injustice and is patient with it except that Allah adds to his honor; no slave (of Allah) opens up a door to begging except that Allah opens a door for him to poverty"- or a statement similar- Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2325

عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الطَّائِيِّ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو كَبْشَةَ الأَنْمَارِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏"‏ ثَلاَثَةٌ أُقْسِمُ عَلَيْهِنَّ وَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا فَاحْفَظُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا نَقَصَ مَالُ عَبْدٍ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ وَلاَ ظُلِمَ عَبْدٌ مَظْلِمَةً فَصَبَرَ عَلَيْهَا إِلاَّ زَادَهُ اللَّهُ عِزًّا وَلاَ فَتَحَ عَبْدٌ بَابَ مَسْأَلَةٍ إِلاَّ فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَابَ فَقْرٍ أَوْ كَلِمَةً نَحْوَهَا"‏ ‏.‏
