[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The best form of charity is to give when you are healthy and wealthy, and the charity given by a rich person is equal to the reward of freeing a slave, while the charity given by a poor person is equal to the reward of giving a handful of food."  

أحمد:٨٧٠١ – حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَبِيحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ الْمَنِيحَةُ تَغْدُو بِأَجْرٍ وَتَرُوحُ بِأَجْرٍ ومَنِيحَةُ النَّاقَةِ كَعِتَاقَةِ الْأَحْمَرِ وَمَنِيحَةُ الشَّاةِ كَعِتَاقَةِ الْأَسْوَدِ
