[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand, and let one of you begin with those whom he supports. The best charity is that given by one who has surplus wealth, and the one who stays away from begging, Allah will make him self-sufficient, and the one who seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him free from want.” 7753 Abu 'Amr Al-Adibi informed us, Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili informed me, Ibn Yasin narrated to me, Muhammad bin Sufyan bin Abi Zard Al-Ayli informed us, Wahib narrated to us, from Hisham, from his father, from Hakim bin Hizam, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said...(and he mentioned it like that), except that he said: "And the one who seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him free from want." And he did not mention the word "Is'tifaaf" (self-sufficiency). 7754 Wahib narrated to us, from Hisham bin 'Urwah, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, a narration similar to the Hadith of Hakim bin Hizam.  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَلْيَبْدَأْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَنْ يعُولُ وَخَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَمَنْ يسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللهُ 7753 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ يَاسِينَ حدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي الزَّرْدِ الْأَيْلِيُّ ثنا حَبَّانُ ثنا وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَمَنْ يسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ كَلِمَةَ الِاسْتِعْفَافِ 7754 قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ ثنا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ هَذَا  

A person from the Banu 'Udhra set a slave free after his death. This news reached the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon hhn). Upon this he said: Have you any property besides it? He said: No. Upon this he said: Who would buy (this slave) from me? Nulaim b. Abdullah bought it for eight hundred dirhams and (this amount was) brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who returned it to him (the owner), and then said: Start with your own self and spend it on yourself, and if anything is left, it should be spent on your family, and if anything is left (after meeting the needs of the family) it should be spent on relatives, and if anything is left from the family, it should be spent like this, like this. And he was saying: In front of you, on your right and on your left. (Using translation from Muslim 997a)   

عَنْ دُبُرٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَلَكَ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ؟ فَقَالَ لَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ مِنِّي فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْعَدَوِيُّ بِثَمَانِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَجَاءَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ابْدَأْ بِنَفْسِكَ فَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ فَضَلَ شَيْءٌ فَلِأَهْلِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ أَهْلِكَ فَلِذِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَإِنْ فَضَلَ عَنْ ذِي قَرَابَتِكَ فَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا يَقُولُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَعَنْ يَمِينِكَ وَعَنْ شِمَالِكَ  

[Machine] What did the Prophet ﷺ say? He said that a Muslim, when he spends on his family and intends it as an act of charity, it becomes a charity for him.  

أَعَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا أَنْفَقَ نَفَقَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ يَحْتَسِبُهَا كَانَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ  

The most excellent dinar is one that a person spends on his family, and the dinar which he spends on his animal in Allah's path, and the dinar he spends on his companions in Allah's path. Abu Qilaba (one of the narrators) said: He (the narrator) started with family, and then Abu Qilaba said: Who is the person with greater reward than a person who spends on young members of his family (and thus) preserves (saves them from want) (and by virtue of which) Allah brings profit for them and makes them rich. (Using translation from Muslim 994)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ دِينَارٍ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ وَبَدَأَ بِالْعِيَالِ فَأِيُّ رَجُلٍ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى عِيَالٍ صِغَارٍ يَقُوتُهُمُ اللهُ وَيَنْفَعُهُمْ بِهِ  

[Machine] Allah ﷺ said, "Whatever you give them (charity), it is a Sadaqah (i.e. an act of charity)." Umar asked, "Who bears witness with you?" He (Umar) came to Aisha and said, "Who is this?" She said, "It is Umar." He said, "What has brought you here?" He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whatever you give them (charity), it is a Sadaqah (i.e. an act of charity)." She said, "Yes, the wording of the Hadith is from Anas bin Malik and the Hadith of Abu Dawud is the most complete, narrated by Hammad bin Abi Hammad and also narrated as Muhammad bin Abi Hammad."  

اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا أَعْطَيْتُمُوهُنَّ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ؟ فَأَتَى عَائِشَةَ ؓ فَقَامَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَابِ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ عَمْرٌو قَالَتْ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا أَعْطَيْتُمُوهُنَّ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَنَسِ بْنِ عِيَاضٍ وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي دَاوُدَ أَتَمُّ ابْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ حمَّادُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ وَيُقَالُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to give charity. He said, "O women, give in charity even if it is from your jewelry." I used to support Abdullah bin Mas'ud and the orphans in his household. Abdullah had small hands and I said to him, "Go to the Prophet ﷺ and ask him if the charity that I give can be considered as fulfilling my obligation or if it will be counted separately for you." Abdullah replied, "No, you go and ask him yourself." So, I went to him and sat down. I found a woman at the door who also had a request. She had been treated with respect by the Prophet ﷺ. I told her, "Come out with Bilal and ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ without revealing who we are." Bilal came out and we told him to ask the Prophet ﷺ if the charity given by two women who support their husbands and the orphans in their households would be considered sufficient for them. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who are they?" Bilal replied, "Zainab and a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Which Zainab?" Bilal replied, "The wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud and a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, they will receive two rewards: the reward for kinship and the reward for charity."  

أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ يَا مَعَاشِرَ النِّسَاءِ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ قَالَتْ وَكُنْتُ أَعُولُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَيَتَامَى فِي حَجْرِهِ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ خَفِيفَ ذَاتِ الْيَدِ فَقُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ ائْتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَسَلْهُ أَيَجْزِئُ ذَلِكَ عَنِّي أَوْ أُوَجِّهُهُ عَنْكُمْ تَعْنِي الصَّدَقَةَ فَقَالَ لَا بَلِ ائْتِيهِ أَنْتِ فَسَلِيهِ قَالَتْ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَجَلَسْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ عِنْدَ الْبَابِ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ حَاجَتُهَا حَاجَتِي وَكَانَتْ قَدْ أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَهَابَةُ قَالَتْ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا بِلَالٌ فَقُلْنَا سَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا تُخْبِرْهُ مَنْ نَحْنُ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ امْرَأَتَانِ تَعُولَانِ أَزْوَاجَهُمَا وَيَتَامَى فِي حُجُورِهِمَا هَلْ يَجْزِي ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ هُمَا قَالَ زَيْنَبُ وَامْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ أِيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ؟ قَالَ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَامْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ لَهُمَا أَجْرَانِ أَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ وَأَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ  

[Machine] I don't like it if you don't have a reward for doing it, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked her about it, and she said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am a woman who has a craft that I sell, and I do not have anything for myself, my children, or my husband, which keeps me occupied so I cannot give charity. Do I have a reward for that?" The Prophet ﷺ said to her, "You will have a reward for whatever you spend on them, so spend on them."  

مَا أُحِبُّ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ أَنْ تَفْعَلِي فَسَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ هِيَ وَهُوَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّنِي امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ صَنْعَةٍ أَبِيعُ مِنْهَا وَلَيْسَ لِي وَلَا لِوَلَدِي وَلَا لِزَوْجِي شَيْءٌ فَشَغَلُونِي فَلَا أَتَصَدَّقُ فَهَلْ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ مَا أَنْفَقَتِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَنْفَقِي عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, verily the family of Abu Salama are in my care and they have nothing except what I have spent on them, and I am not leaving them with anything specific. So, do I have a reward if I spend on them?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Spend on them, for you will have a reward for what you spend on them."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بَنِي أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فِي حَجْرِي وَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ شَيْءٌ إِلَّا مَا أَنْفَقْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَسْتُ بِتَارِكَتِهِمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلِي أَجْرٌ إِنْ أَنْفَقْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْفِقِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِنَّ لَكِ أَجْرَ مَا أَنْفَقْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] "She freed a slave during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, so she mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, 'If you had given her to your paternal uncles, it would have been greater in reward for you.'"  

أَنَّهَا أَعْتَقَتْ وَلِيدَةً فِي زَمَنِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَوْ أَعْطَيْتِهَا أَخْوَالَكِ كَانَ أَعْظَمَ لِأَجْرِكِ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is most deserving of my good treatment?" He said, "Your mother." I said, "Then who?" He said, "Your mother." I said, "Then who?" He said, "Your mother." I said, "Then who?" He said, "Then your father, and then the closest relatives."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمُّكَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أُمُّكَ؟ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَنْ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَبَاكَ ثُمَّ الْأَقْرَبُ فَالْأَقْرَبُ  

"No man comes to his Mawla and asks him for something from the surplus of what he has, and he withholds it from him, but on the Day of Resurrection a bald-headed Shuja'a [1] will be called to him and will be licking the surplus that he withheld." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2566)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَأْتِي رَجُلٌ مَوْلَاهُ فَيَسْأَلَهُ مِنْ فَضْلٍ هُوَ عِنْدَهُ فَيَمْنَعَهُ إِيَّاهُ إِلَّا دُعِيَ إِلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شُجَاعًا أَقْرَعَ يَتَلَمَّظُ فَضْلَهُ الَّذِي مَنْعَ  

Messenger of Allah! to whom should I show kindness? He said: Your mother, your sister, your brother and the slave whom you set free and who is your relative, a due binding (on you), and a tie of relationship which should be joined. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5140)   

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَنْ أَبَرُّ؟ قَالَ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ وَمَوْلَاكَ الَّذِي يَلِي ذَلِكَ حَقًّا وَاجِبًا وَرَحِمًا مَوْصُولَةً  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Indeed, Allah advises you to be good to your mothers, then advises you to be good to your fathers, then advises you to be good to your closest relatives, then next closest." Al-Miqdam said, "And I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whatever you give as food to yourself, your children, your spouse, and your servant, it is charity.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللهَ يُوصِيكُمْ بِأُمَّهَاتِكُمْ ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِآبَائِكُمْ ثُمَّ يُوصِيكُمْ بِالْأَقْرَبِ فَالْأَقْرَبِ 7766 قَالَ الْمِقْدَامُ وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا أَطْعَمْتَ نَفْسَكَ وَوَلَدَكَ وَزَوْجَكَ وَخَادِمَكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I advise a person to be kind to his mother three times, and to be kind to his father twice, and to be kind to his guardian who takes care of him, even if he causes harm to him." The scholar Sheikh Mansour disagreed with Mansour's name.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أُوْصِي امْرَأً بِأُمِّهِ ثَلَاثًا أُوصِي امْرَأً بِأَبِيهِ مَرَّتَيْنِ أُوصِي امْرَأً بِمَوْلَاهُ الَّذِي يَلِيهِ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَذَاةٌ تُؤْذِيهِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ اخْتَلَفَ أَصْحَابُ مَنْصُورٍ عَلَى مَنْصُورٍ فِي اسْمِ مَنْ
