Silsilah as-Sahihah 923 — Best forms of charity

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “(A milk-giving animal) given as a gift is the best charity, the one who gives a bowl of milk in the morning and one in the evening.”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates attributing the hadith to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Is there not a person who would give a she-camel as a gift to such a family who do not have milk, so that he may give them a large bowl of milk in the morning and one in the evening? Indeed, its reward is very great."
