Chapter: A Man's Spending on His Slave and Servant is Charity
Hadith 195
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ، سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”مَا أَطْعَمْتَ نَفْسَكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ وَلَدَكَ وَزَوْجَتَكَ وَخَادِمَكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Whatever you eat yourself is charity for you, and whatever you feed your wife, children, and servants is also charity."
Hadith 196
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا بَقَّى غِنًى، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ، تَقُولُ امْرَأَتُكَ: أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ أَوْ طَلِّقْنِي، وَيَقُولُ مَمْلُوكُكَ: أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ أَوْ بِعْنِي، وَيَقُولُ وَلَدُكَ: إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنَا.“
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best charity is that which leaves the giver self-sufficient, and the upper (giving) hand is better than the lower (receiving) hand. And begin spending on those whose maintenance is your responsibility. Your wife will say: Spend on me or divorce me, and your slave will say: Spend on me or sell me, and your son will say: To whom do you entrust us?"
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."
