[2382] 92 - (1032) It was narrated that Abû Hurairah said: "A man came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, what kind of charity is greatest?' He said: 'To give charity when you are healthy and inclined to be stingy, fearing poverty and hoping to be wealthy. Do not put it off until (your soul) reaches the throat and you say: "Such-and-such is for so-and-so, and such-and-such is for so-and-so." No, it has already become the property of so-and-so."
