Those who liked to hand their charity to the poor with their own hand

Abbas bin Abd al-Rahman al-Madani said: There were two practices that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not entrust to anyone of his family: he would give to the poor person with his own hand, and he would set out his water for ablution himself.

Abu al-Minhal said: I saw Ali bin Husayn; his hair reached his shoulders and he had a wrap on him, and I saw him giving to the poor person with his own hand.
