2535. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "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." (Sahîh)
2534 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرٌ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ: مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا، خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ "

"Self-sufficient": whether it is the richness of the heart or of the wealth. It should not happen that one who gives Sadaqah begins begging of others himself, or his household members suffer deprivation.
