Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said:
When people are divided (into individuals, sects, groups), they become corrupt and they perish.
But when they become united, they prosper and prevail.
For in unity is blessing, and in division is punishment.

Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:
Whispers (of evil deeds, bad thoughts against people etc) harm (no one) except the servant himself from within him, only due to his cooperation with them and his acceptance of them.
Therefore, the servant is held accountable for them (questioned, punished), because it is through his own effort and will (i.e., if he entertains them and accepts them).

Hadith on Sadaqah and Spending from what Allah has given you
Abu Hurayrah (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
Allah said: “O son of Adam, spend!, and I will spend on you!”
[Sahih al-Bukhari, 5352]
Explanation:
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that Allah Almighty said: O son of Adam, spend - the obligatory spending and the recommended spending - and I will increase your sustenance and give you compensation for that and bless it for you (so that you can spend more). The more you spend in good, the more you are given to continue that cycle of goodness until you have more than what you spent because Allah’s compensation is greater, better, more superior and complete.

Giving Charity on Fridays
● Ka'b al-Ahbar (rahimahullah) said:
The sun has neither risen nor set on a day greater than the day of Friday,
and charity given on it is greater than on other days.
[Sahih Musannaf of 'Abd Ar-Razzaq (rahimahullah), 5558]
● al-A‘mash narrated from Mujahid, from ‘Abdullah ibn Damrah,
from Ka‘b (rahimahumullah) who said:
Charity is multiplied on Friday.
[Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah, 2/57, no. 6, Maktabah Islamiyyah]
● Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:
Giving charity on Friday has a special merit compared to other days,
just as giving charity during the month of Ramadan has a higher merit compared to the rest of the year.
I witnessed Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah)
when he would go out for Jumuaah,
he would take whatever he found at home—be it bread or anything else—and give it as charity in secret on his way.
I heard him say:
“If Allah commanded us to give charity before consulting with the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) (58:12),
then giving charity before consulting with Allah is even more virtuous and deserving of merit.”
[Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah), Zaad al-Maad, 1/399]
● Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said:
If the one giving charity
knew
that his charity landed in the Hand of Allah,
before the hand of the poor person,
the pleasure of the giver would be greater than the pleasure of the receiver.
[Ibn ul-Qayyim (rahimahullah), paraphrased from al-Wabil al-Sayyib, al-Madarij as-Salikeen, 1/26]

Abu Huraira (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) as saying:
No one gives sadaqah (charity) of a date out of his honest earning, except that Allah accepts it with His Right Hand, and then fosters it as one of you fosters the colt or a young she-camel, till it becomes like a mountain or even greater.
[Sahih Muslim, 1014b, Book 12, Hadith 80]
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said:
“Charity (sadaqah) reaches (lit. falls into) the Hand of Allah before it falls into the hand of the one who asks for it.” (i.e., Allah Ta’ala accepts it), he (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) then recited the Verse:
{(Do they not know that Allah) accepts repentance from His servants and takes their charities”} — Surah Tawbah, 9:104
[Tafsir at-Tabari (rahimahullah); Jami’ul Bayan, Surah Tawbah, Verse: 104, vol. 11, pg. 666, see also: Majma az-Zawaid, vol. 3, pg. 111, Hadith: 4677]
Abu Hurairah (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) narrated that :
the Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
"Indeed Allah accepts charity, and He accepts it with His Right (Hand) to nurture it for one of you, just like one of you would nurture his foal, until the bite (of food) becomes as large as Uhud."
[Jami’ at-Tirmidhi 662, Chapter 28: What Has Been Related About the Virtue of Charity, Graded: Hasan Sahih]
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (radiyAllahu ‘anhu):
"Indeed, charity* (sadaqah) reaches (lit. falls into) the Hand of Allah before it reaches the hand of the one who asks,"
then he recited:
{And He it is Who accepts repentance* from His servants} — ash-Shura: 25, the verse.
[al-Muj’am al-Kabir at-Tabarani (rahimahullah), 8571]
Ibn 'Umar (radiyAllahu ‘anhu) reported: The Prophet (sallAllahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) as saying: "The worst of lies is to pretend to have seen something which he has not seen."

A raqi writes: "Treat your patients (ailing ones) with charity. We have seen wonders in healing of patients through charity."
Ibn Baz (rahimahullah) said:
"Charity is among the greatest causes of healing, relieving distress, and warding off affliction."
I (Abdul Malik) have seen the impact of this hadith in the long life of my mother (may Allah have mercy on her),
her resilience in the face of illnesses that could have led to her demise.
Allah preserved her for us for many years, during which we were blessed with her company, until she passed away.
May Allah have mercy on her, and on our parents and your parents, all of them.

Connection between Maintaining Ties of the Kinship and Rizq (provision) Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullah) said: Indeed, some people maintain ties of kinship while they are sinful, and so their wealth increases and their numbers multiply. And indeed, a people…

The Prophet is closer to the believers than their ownselves, and his wives are their mothers (mothers of the believers) (as regards respect and marriage).
And blood relations among each other have closer personal ties (regarding inheritance and care) in the Decree of Allah than (the formed brotherhood of) the believers and the Muhajirun (emigrants from Makkah, etc.), except that you do kindness to those brothers
