bread were given to the poor instead of sugar, as they would benefit

has said: You will never attain piety unless you spend of that which
you love.(Al-Imran:92). Since, he himself loved sugar most, he gave
the same to the poor. Source: "Fadhail-E-Sadaqaa Part I", translated
by Prof. Abdul Karim.
Subhan-Allah! How beautifully they would give away what they lovethe
most, so that they may fulfill one of the commandments of Allah. May
Allah also give us these great qualities. Ameen.
