23. Zakāh (Ritual Charity)
٢٣۔ كتاب الزكاة
We came to Madinah and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was standing on the minbar addressing the people and saying: "The hand which gives is the upper hand. Start with those for whom you are responsible; your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, then the next closest, and the next closest."
قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَدُ الْمُعْطِي الْعُلْيَا وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ أُمَّكَ وَأَبَاكَ وَأُخْتَكَ وَأَخَاكَ ثُمَّ أَدْنَاكَ أَدْنَاكَ مُخْتَصَرٌ
