The Prophet ﷺ commanded to give sadaqah. A man said: Messenger of Allah, I have a dinar. He said: Spend it on yourself. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your children. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your wife. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your servant. He finally said: I have another. He replied: You know best (what to do with it). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1691)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ قَالَ «أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى زَوْجَتِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى وَلَدِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ» قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ «أَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ»
