Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best sadaqa is that which leaves you free of want. The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin with those you look after. Your wife says, 'Spend on me or divorce me.' Your slave says, 'Spend on me or sell me.' Your child asks, 'On whom can we rely?'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا بَقَّى غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ تَقُولُ امْرَأَتُكَ أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ أَوْ طَلِّقْنِي وَيَقُولُ مَمْلُوكُكَ أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ أَوْ بِعْنِي وَيَقُولُ وَلَدُكَ إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنَا
