Hadith 750
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو رَافِعٍ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُنْكَدِرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ؟ قَالَ: ”أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ“، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، فَقَالَ: ”أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ“، أَوْ قَالَ: ”عَلَى وَلَدِكَ“، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: ”ضَعْهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَهُوَ أَخَسُّهَا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! If I have one dinar, where should I spend it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend it on yourself." He said: If I have another? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend it on your servant," or he said: "Spend it on your children." He said: If I have another? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend it in the way of Allah; in this, the reward is less than the first two."
