حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ بْنِ شُبْرُمَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ: " أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقَ (١) وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ، تَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ، وَتَأْمُلُ الْبَقَاءَ، وَلَا تَمَهَّلْ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ، قُلْتَ: لِفُلَانٍ كَذَا، وَلِفُلَانٍ كَذَا، وَقَدْ كَانَ لِفُلَانٍ " (٢)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the court of the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), at what time is giving charity most rewarding?" The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The best charity is that which you give while you are healthy, desiring wealth, fearing poverty, and hoping for a long life. Do not delay charity until the soul reaches the throat, and then you begin to say, 'Give this much to so-and-so and that much to so-and-so,' for by then it already belongs to so-and-so (the heirs)."
