1419. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, “O Allāh’s Messenger! What kind of As-Sadaqa (charity etc.) is the most superior in reward?” He replied, “The charity which you practise while you are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wish to become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching death and then say, ‘Give so much to such and such, and so much to such and such.’ And it has already belonged to such and such (his heirs).”
