Chapters on Voluntary Charity
(141) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَى أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّمَا فَضَّلَ صَدَقَةَ الْمُقِلِّ إِذَا كَانَ فَضْلًا عَمَّنْ يَعُولُ،
141 Subchapter: Prophet favored charity of the poor if it was surplus to dependents’ needs
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah 2444 — 141 Subchapter: Prophet favored charity
لَا إِذَا تَصَدَّقَ عَلَى الْأَبَاعِدِ وَتَرَكَ مَنْ يَعُولُ جِيَاعًا عُرَاةً، إِذِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَمَرَ بِبَدْءِ مَنْ يَعُولُ.
It is not better at that time when he gives charity to distant people while his own family and dependents are hungry and unclothed. Because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has commanded to spend on one's own family and dependents first.
حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْغَافِقِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، عَنِ اللَّيْثِ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الزُّبَيْرِ ، حَدَّثَهُ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَعْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " جَهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ ، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which charity is the best?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The charity given by a person of little means with difficulty is best. And begin by spending on your dependents first."
