[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The best form of charity is that given when one is prosperous, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin with those who are dependent upon you." Abu Abdullah al-Rahman Ajlan, the father of Muhammad ibn Ajlan, narrated this hadith. It was narrated by Bukair and Ajlan al-Mushmaili, and Ibn Abi Dhi'b also narrated from them. All of them narrated from Abu Hurairah.

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَجْلَانَ هَذَا هُوَ وَالِدُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ رَوَى عَنْهُ بُكَيْرُ وَعَجْلَانُ مَوْلَى الْمُشْمَعِلِّ رَوَى عَنْهُ ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ كِلَاهُمَا يَرْوِيَانِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

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. (Using translation from Muslim 1034)   

الكبرى للنسائي:٢٣٢٦وأَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حِبَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ»
