Majma al-Zawaid 4537 — The upper hand and who most deserves kindness

وَعَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ زَهْدَمٍ الْيَرْبُوعِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ انْتَهَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ : " يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا ; أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ ، وَأُخْتَكَ فَأَخَاكَ ، وَأَدْنَاكَ أَدْنَاكَ " . رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، وَذُكِرَ بِأَسَانِيدَ أُخَرَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ قَالَ مِثْلَهُ ، وَرِجَالُهُمَا ثِقَاتٌ ، وَرِجَالُ الْأَوَّلِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyiduna Tha'labah bin Zahdam al-Yarbu'i (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "The hand of the giver is the upper one. (Spend in this way:) your mother, your father, your sister and your brother, and then your nearest relatives, degree by degree."
Al-Bazzar recorded it. Through other chains it is reported from al-Aswad bin Tha'labah, who narrated something similar. The narrators of both are thiqat (trustworthy), and the narrators of the first are the narrators of the Sahih.
