بَابُ نَفَقَةُ الرَّجُلِ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ وَخَادِمِهِ صَدَقَةٌChapter: A Man's Spending on His Slave and Servant is Charity
Hadith 197
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلاَنَ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِصَدَقَةٍ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ، قَالَ: ”أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ“، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: ”أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى زَوْجَتِكَ“، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: ”أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ، ثُمَّ أَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded to give charity. A man said: I have one dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Spend it on yourself." He said: I have another one. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Spend it on your wife." He said: I have another one. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Spend it on your servant, then you know best about your own situation."
