باب في فَضْلِ الْيَدِ الْعُلْيَا:Chapter: The Virtue of the Giving Hand
Hadith 1691
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ طَلْحَةَ يَذْكُرُ، عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ".
Sayyiduna Hakim bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best charity is that which is given while you are wealthy, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and you should give charity first to the one whom you are supporting."
