(وَمِنْ طَرِيقِ ثَانٍ) عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ))، قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ: مَا مَنْ تَعُولُ؟ قَالَ: امْرَأَتُكَ تَقُولُ أَطْعِمْنِي أَوْ أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ شَكَّ أَبُو عَامِرِ أَوْ طَلِّقْنِي، وَخَادِمُكَ يَقُولُ أَطْعِمْنِي وَاسْتَعْمِلْنِي، وَابْنَتُكَ تَقُولُ: إِلَى مَنْ تَذَرُنِي
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best charity is that which is given after fulfilling one's own need, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Start spending on those who are under your care. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked: Who are the people under one's care? He said: Your wife, who says, "Feed me and provide for me, otherwise divorce me"; your servant, who says, "Feed me first, then take work from me"; and your daughter, who says, "If you do not fulfill my needs yourself, then to whom will you hand me over?"
