حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى اللَّيْثِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَفْضَلُ دِينَارٍ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ ، وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ، وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ " .
´It was narrated from Thawban that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “The best Dinar that a man can spend is a Dinar that he spends on his family, a Dinar that he spends on a horse in the cause of Allah, and a Dinar that a man spends on his companions in the cause of Allah.”

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Spending on others in relation to oneself is a cause of greater reward.
➋ Fulfilling the necessary expenses of wife and children is obligatory. Spending beyond reasonable limits falls under extravagance, which is not a good habit. Spending on unlawful purposes or giving to wife and children for such expenses is a sin.
➌ Whatever is spent for acquiring items used in jihad and for keeping them in proper condition is also included among the most virtuous expenditures.
➍ During jihad, one should be mindful of each other's needs. At such times, spending on one's companions is also an act of jihad and a cause of great reward.

Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: The beginning of the objection was made by Bilal, the son of Abdullah ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma, and Waqid supported him in this. And in order to strengthen his argument with evidence, he said, (يَتَّخِذْنَهُ دَغَلًا) — they will make this permission a means of corruption and mischief.
