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.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ أَوْ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: "The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and start with those for whom you are responsible."'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ  

"The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2534)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "The best charity is the one given out of surplus wealth, and start with those whom you are responsible for. And the upper hand is better than the lower hand."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ صَدَقَةٌ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِالسُّفْلَى  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best charitable act is that done when one is wealthy, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Start with those who are dependent on you." Yahya once said, "There is no charity except from one's surplus wealth."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَقَالَ يَحْيَى مَرَّةً لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا مِنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى  

"The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2534)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّدَقَةُ عَنْ ظَهْرِغِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى  

"The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand, and start with those for whom you are responsible." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2534)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا صَدَقَةَ إِلَّا عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Hurairah: The best charity is that which is given while one is self-sufficient, and start with those who depend on you.  

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ يَعْنِي عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: "The best of charity is that which is given when you are self-sufficient, and start with those for whom you are responsible."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2544)   

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ»  

[Machine] He asked the Prophet ﷺ , "Which charity is best?" He said, "Start with those whom you are responsible for, and charity is better given in secrecy."  

أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «ابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ وَالصَّدَقَةُ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best charity is that which is practiced by a wealthy person. And start giving first to your dependents." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1426)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best charity is that which is practiced by a wealthy person. And start giving first to your dependents." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1426)   

"أفْضَلُ الصَّدَقِةَ ما كان عن ظهرِ غنىً، وابدأ بمن تَعُولُ".
