Which are proved to be better than Hanafi Madhab ? Allah hafez

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

The most beloved act of charity by Allaah is the obligatory charity, i.e. Zakat, which a person gives for the Sake of Allaah while fearing poverty and hoping to become rich. The evidence about this is the Qudsi narration which reads: The most beloved action to Me by which My Slave seeks to get nearer to Me is by performing the obligation which I enjoined on him.[Ahmad]. This is evidence that the obligatory charity is most beloved to Allaah than the optional charity. The other evidence is the saying of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) when he was asked which act of charity is most rewarded, and he answered: It is to give charity while you are in a good health and poor fearing further poverty and hoping to become rich.[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Allaah Knows best.
