أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عِيسَی قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ طَارِقٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ قَالَ قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَائِمٌ عَلَی الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أُمَّکَ وَأَبَاکَ وَأُخْتَکَ وَأَخَاکَ ثُمَّ أَدْنَاکَ أَدْنَاکَ مُخْتَصَرٌ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2538
It was narrated that Tariq Al-Muharibi said: “We came to Al Madinah and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم was standing on the Minbar addressing the people and saying: ‘The hand which gives is the upper hand. Start with those for whom you are responsible; your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, then the next closest, and the next closest.” (Sahih)
