خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى
The best charity is that given from surplus wealth
Mustadrak al-Hakim — Hadith 1521

أخبرنا عبد الرحمن بن الحسن القاضي بهَمَذان، حدثنا إبراهيم بن الحسين، حدثنا موسى بن إسماعيل، حدثنا حمَّاد، عن محمد بن إسحاق، عن عاصم بن عُمر بن قتادة، عن محمود بن لبيد، عن جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري قال: كنا عند رسول الله ﷺ إذ جاء رجل بمثل بَيضةٍ من ذهب، فقال: يا رسول الله، أصبتُ هذه من مَعدِنٍ، فخُذْها فهي صدقةٌ، ما أملِكُ غيرَها، فأعرَضَ عنه رسول الله ﷺ، ثم أتاه من قِبَل رُكْنِه الأيمن، فقال مثلَ ذلك، فأعرَضَ عنه، ثم أتاه من رُكنِه الأيسر، فأعرَضَ عنه رسول الله ﷺ، ثم أتاه من خَلْفِه، فأخذها رسولُ الله ﷺ فحَذَفَه بها، فلو أصابته لأوجَعَتْه ولَعَقَرتْه، فقال رسول الله ﷺ: "يأتي أحدُكم بما يَملِكُ فيقول: هذه صدقةٌ، ثم يقعُدُ يَستكِفُّ الناسَ، خيرُ الصَّدقةِ ما كان عن ظَهْرِ غِنًى" (2).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly a man came with something like an egg of gold and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I found this in a mine; please accept it, it is charity, and I have no wealth other than it." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away from him. Then he came from his (peace and blessings be upon him) right side and said the same thing, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned away again. Then he came from the left side, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face away again. Then he came from behind, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took that (gold) from him and tossed it at him (in such a way) that had it struck him, it would have hurt him or wounded him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "One of you brings all his wealth and says: This is charity, then he sits (having become needy himself) and stretches out his hand to people. The best charity is that which is given out of sufficiency, after one's own needs have been met."
This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

He (peace and blessings be upon him) gave that sum to the man and said: "Begin with yourself and spend on yourself; then if anything remains, on your family; then if anything remains, on your relatives; then if anything remains, like this and like this (i.e. on other causes)." These are the words of Imam Muslim.
