1688 - وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ : «أَفْضَلُ اَلصَّدَقَةِ صَدَقَةٌ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَ اِبْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَ اَلْيَدُ اَلْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ اَلْيَدِ اَلسُّفْلَى وَ لاَ يَلُومُ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى اَلْكَفَافِ ».
Hadith.1688 - The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "The best charity is that given when one is financially capable. Begin with those under your care. The upper hand (the giver) is better than the lower hand (the receiver), and Allah (swt), the Almighty, does not reproach for sufficiency."
