Musnad Abi Ya'la 2673 — Abu Musa al-Saffar (may Allah have mercy on)
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ نَصْرٍ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَى الصَّفَارُ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَوْ سُئِلَ: أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ الْمَاءُ، أَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ إِلَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَمَّا اسْتَغَاثُوا بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالُوا {أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ} [الأعراف: 50]

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): Abu Musa al-Saffar (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), or he was asked, which charity is the best? He said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best charity is (giving) water. Have you not heard how the people of Hell, when they cried for help to the people of Paradise, said: 'Pour upon us some water, or some of what Allah has provided for you'?"
