The Generosity Legacy of Hatim al-Tai

Hatim al-Tai, the father of Adi ibn Hatim, is renowned for his unparalleled generosity, which set a high standard for his family and tribe. He was known to provide for travelers at any hour, even lighting a fire outside his home to guide them. His extreme acts of kindness included sacrificing his possessions during a famine and even giving away his prized horse to feed a needy traveler. Such a legacy left an indelible mark on Adi, who inherited the prestige but struggled to match his father's exemplary charitable nature until he embraced Islam.
