Musnad Ahmad 9613 — Musnad of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَطَاءٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى ، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ " ، وَقَالَ يَحْيَى مَرَّةً : " لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best charity is that which is given from surplus wealth. The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and you should begin charity and alms with those who are under your responsibility.
