جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1626
Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim At-Tai: That he asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), Which charity is most virtuous? He said, The service of a worshipper in the cause of Allah, or providing the shade of tent, or mount in the cause of Allah. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith has been reported from Mu'awiyah bin Salih in Mursal form.And Zaid has been contradicted concerning part of its chain. He said: And Al-Walim bin Jamil has reported this Hadith from Al-Qasim Abu 'Abdur-Rahman, from Abu Umamah, from the Prophet (ﷺ).
