عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ الْمَنِيحَةُ تَغْدُو بِأَجْرٍ وَتَرُوحُ بِأَجْرٍ، مَنِيحَةُ النَّاقَةِ كَعَتَاقَةِ الْأَحْمَرِ، وَمَنِيحَةُ الشَّاةِ كَعَتَاقَةِ الْأَسْوَدِ))
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Lending something to someone is the best charity; that thing becomes a cause of reward in the morning and in the evening. Lending a she-camel to someone is equal to freeing a red slave, and lending a goat to someone is like freeing a black slave.
