1676. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The best charity is that which leaves (one) independent of means, or that which is given when one is self-sufficient. And start with those who depend on you." (Saḥīh)
1676 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ خَيْرَ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا تَرَكَ غِنًى، أَوْ تُصُدِّقَ بِهِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ»
