Take the 2-minute tour ×  Chazal say, "Gadol hame’aseh yosair
min ha’oseh," "the one causing others to give tzedakah is
greater than the person giving the tzedakah" (Bava Basra 9a).
The Shulchan Oruch YD 249 (5) brings this down as Halocho “If a
person can persuade other people to give, his reward is greater
than that of the giver”.  Why is this codified as halocho (law)
– it sounds more like mussar (ethical teaching)?  share|improve
