Abu Hurairah reported I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ, What kind of sadaqah is most excellent? He replied What a man with little property can afford to give; and begin with those for whom you are responsible.
أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
" Which charity is most excellent?"
أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ
The most excellent Sadaqa or the best of Sadaqa is that after giving which the (giver) remains rich and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and begin from the members of your household.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ أَوْ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
"The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2534)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
[AI] Narrated Abu Hurairah: The best charity is that which is given while one is self-sufficient, and start with those who depend on you.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ يَعْنِي عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best charitable act is that done when one is wealthy, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Start with those who are dependent on you." Yahya once said, "There is no charity except from one's surplus wealth."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَقَالَ يَحْيَى مَرَّةً لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى
"The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2534)

[AI] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The best charity is the one given out of surplus wealth, and start with those whom you are responsible for. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand."
سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ صَدَقَةٌ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِالسُّفْلَى
[AI] "And he said, 'How is the appropriate time for giving charity?'"
