It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give charity. A man said: I have one dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on yourself. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your wife. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your children. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your servant. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then decide yourself, in the light of your own insight (as to who is more deserving).
