1691. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ once commanded the people to give charity. So a man said: "O Messenger of Allāh, I have a Dinār, (what should I do with it?)." He said: "Spend it on yourself." He said: "I have another one." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Spend it on your children." He said: "I have another one." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Spend it on your wife." He said: "I have another one." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Spend it on your servant." He said: "I have another one." The Prophet ﷺ replied: "You know better (who to spend it on)." (Hasan)

1691 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: أَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ، فَقَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ»، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى وَلَدِكَ»، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى زَوْجَتِكَ» - أَوْ قَالَ: «زَوْجِكَ» -، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ»، قَالَ: عِنْدِي آخَرُ، قَالَ: «أَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ»
