عَنْ أَبِي رِمْثَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا، أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ ثُمَّ أَدْنَاكَ))، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! هَؤُلَاءِ بَنُو يَرْبُوعٍ قَتَلَةُ فُلَانٍ، قَالَ: ((أَلَا لَا تَجْنِي نَفْسٌ عَلَى أُخْرَى))، وَقَالَ أَبِي: قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَخْطُبُ وَيَقُولُ: ((يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا))
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Rumthah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The hand of the giver is upper. Spend first on your mother, then your father, then your sister, then as the relatives become closer. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! These are the Banu Yarbu', they are the killers of such and such person. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No soul will commit a crime for another. Abu Nazr said in his narration: I entered the mosque while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon, in which he also said: The hand of the giver is upper.
