Hadith 3595

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: ((جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which charity is the most virtuous?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The charity given by a person of little means through his own hard work is the best, and begin (spending) with those whose maintenance is your responsibility."
