أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُوسَی بْنَ طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ حَکِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا کَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًی وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَی وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2549
Hakim bin Hizam said: “The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘The best kind of charity is that which is given when you are rich, and the Upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible.” (Sahih)
