حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: " لَتُنَبَّأَنَّ: أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ (١) وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ، تَأْمُلُ، ، الْبَقَاءَ، وَتَخَافُ الْفَقْرَ، وَلَا تَمَهَّلْ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ، قُلْتَ: لِفُلَانٍ كَذَا، وَلِفُلَانٍ كَذَا، أَلَا (١) وَقَدْ كَانَ لِفُلَانٍ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (ﷺ): "At what time is charity most rewarding?" The Holy Prophet (ﷺ) replied: "You will certainly get its answer. The best charity is that which you give while you are healthy, desiring wealth, fearing poverty, and hoping to live longer. Do not delay charity until the soul reaches the throat, and you begin to say, 'Give so much to so-and-so and so much to so-and-so,' for by then it already belongs to so-and-so (the heirs)."
