عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((أَتَدْرُونَ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟)) قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ((الْمَنِيحَةُ، أَنْ يَمْنَحَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ الدِّرْهَمَ أَوْ ظَهْرَ الدَّابَّةِ أَوْ لَبَنَ الشَّاةِ أَوْ لَبَنَ الْبَقَرَةِ))
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him): The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know which charity is the most virtuous? The Companions said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: To lend something to someone, for example, if one of you gives his Muslim brother a dirham, or a riding animal, or the milk of a goat, or the milk of a cow.
