And giving them their food which comes from outside is like alms giving which, exactly to the amount of the food, is written in the book of good deeds of those, outside and inside, who do this, together with the warders concerned. And especially if the unhappy prisoner is old, ill, poor, or a stranger, then the reward of this alms-giving increases many times over.

Thus the condition of this valuable profit is to perform the obligatory prayers, so that such servi-ce is for Allah’s sake. And another condition is to hasten to their assistance with sincerity, compassion and joy, and in such a way as to not make them feel obliged.

Peace be upon you and the Mercy and the Blessings of Allah forever and ever.
