Hanging Coffee

There was a little coffee shop, where two people arrived and approached the counter. “Five coffees please. Two for us and three hanging.  “What’s this about hanging coffees?” “Wait and you’ll see.” The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by 3 ppl three for them and four hanging coffees.” I was left wondering what is the meaning of these “hanging coffees”. Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looked like homeless, arrived at the counter and asked  “Do you have a coffee hanging? “Yes, we do, sir.” They served him a coffee I got my answer. People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can’t afford a hot drink. This tradition started in Naples. Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world It’s also possible to order not only “hanging coffees” but  also a full low cost meal. in shaa Allāh.
A Qur’aan quote
“Those who spend their wealth in Allah’s cause are like grains of corn which produce seven ears, each bearing a hundred grains.”
