أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا کَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًی وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
