Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1011 — I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ : نَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ : نَا مُوسَى قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مُوسَى الصَّفَّارُ قَالَ : سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَوْ سُئِلَ : أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ فَقَالَ : سُئِلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : I " الْمَاءُ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ ، أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : I " الْمَاءُ ، أَلَا تَرَى أَهْلَ النَّارِ إِذَا اسْتَغَاثُوا بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ، قَالُوا : أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللهُ .
Abu Musa al-Saffar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) (or he was asked): "Which charity is the most excellent?" He said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked which charity is the most excellent, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Water."
Then I said: "O Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which charity is the most excellent?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Water. Do you not see that when the people of the Fire call upon the people of Paradise for help, they will say: 'Pour upon us some water, or some of what Allah has provided you'?"
