Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 28349 — A man's spending on his family
٢٨٣٤٩ - حدثنا ابن نمير قال: حدثنا هشام بن عروة عن أبيه عن أبي (مراوح) (١) عن أبي ذر قال: قلت يا رسول اللَّه أي الأعمال أفضل؟ قال: "إيمان باللَّه وجهاد في سبيله" قال: قلت أي الرقاب أفضل؟ قال: "أنفسها عند أهلها وأغلاها ثمنًا"، قلت: فإن لم أطق ذلك؟ قال: "تعين ضائعًا أو تصنع لأخرق"، قال (٢): فإن لم أستطع (ذلك) (٣)؛ قال: "فدع الناس من الشر، فإنها صدقة تصدق بها على نفسك" (٤).
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which deed is the best?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Faith in Allah and striving (jihad) in His path." I asked: "Which slave is the best?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one most precious to his owners and the highest in price." I asked: "And if I do not have the means for that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then help someone who is destitute, or do work for someone unskilled." I said: "And if I am not able to do that?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then keep people safe from your evil, for this is a charity that you give to yourself."
