حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ (٣) بْنِ صَبِيحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ الْمَنِيحَةُ، تَغْدُو بِأَجْرٍ، وَتَرُوحُ بِأَجْرٍ، ومَنِيحَةُ النَّاقَةِ كَعِتَاقَةِ الْأَحْمَرِ، وَمَنِيحَةُ الشَّاةِ كَعِتَاقَةِ الْأَسْوَدِ " (٤)، ،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: The best charity is a milking goat which becomes a source of reward morning and evening. The charity of a milking she-camel is like freeing a red-skinned slave, and the charity of a milking goat is like freeing a black-skinned slave.
