On the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with
him):
"Some people from amongst the Companions of the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet
(peace be upon him), 'O Messenger of Allah, the affluent
have made off with the rewards; they pray as we pray, they
fast as we fast, and they give [much] in charity by virtue of
their wealth.' He (peace be upon him) said, 'Has not Allah
made things for you to give in charity? Truly every tasbeehah
[saying subhan-Allah] is a charity, and every takbeerah
[saying Allahu akbar] is a charity, and every tahmeedah
[saying alhamdulillah] is a charity, and every tahleelah
[saying la ilaha illAllah] is a charity. And commanding the
good is a charity, and forbidding an evil is a charity, and in
the sexual act of each one of you there is a charity.' They
said, 'O Messenger of Allah, when one of us fulfills his sexual
desire, will he have some reward for that?' He (peace be
upon him) said: 'Do you not see that if he were to act upon it
[his desire] in an unlawful manner, then he would be
deserving of punishment? Likewise, if he were to act upon it
in a lawful manner, then he will be deserving of a reward.'"
[Muslim]
