Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5121 — the Prophet ﷺ asked: Do you know which charity
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالُوا : اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ، قَالَ : الْمِنْحَةُ أَنْ تَمْنَحَ أَخَاكَ الدَّنَانِيرَ ، أَوِ الدَّرَاهِمَ ، أَوِ الْبَقَرَةَ ، أَوِ الشَّاةَ ، أَوْ ظَهْرَ الدَّابَّةِ ، أَوْ لَبَنَ الشَّاةِ ، أَوْ لَبَنَ الْبَقَرَةِ ، وَلَمْ يَقُلِ : الْبَقَرَةَ وَالشَّاةَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you know which charity is the best?" The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said: "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The minhah (giving someone a thing to benefit from for a time): that you give your brother dinars, or dirhams, or a cow, or a goat, or the back of a riding animal (for riding), or the milk of a goat, or the milk of a cow (as a gift)." And the narrator did not say "the cow and the goat" (together).
