English translation

1627. Abū Umāmah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The most virtuous of charitable spending is the shade of a tent in the cause of Allāh, or giving a servant in the cause of Allāh, or a riding camel in the cause of Allāh.” (Hasan) [Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb Ṣaḥīh, and it is more correct to me than the narration of Mu‘āwiyah bin Ṣāliḥ.

Arabic text

١٦٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا بِذَلِكَ ‌زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ جَمِيلٍ، عَنِ ‌الْقَاسِمِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَاتِ ظِلُّ فُسْطَاطٍ» فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، وَمَنِيحَةُ خَادِمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، أَوْ طَرُوقَةُ فَحْلٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ. وَهُوَ أَصَحُّ عِنْدِي مِنْ حَدِيثِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ.

    [1] "A tent under which the Mujāhid may be shaded. That is, erecting a tent or a shelter for the fighters to use for shade." (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi).

Commentary

That the most virtuous form of charitable spending is either to provide a servant to the fighter in the cause of Allāh, or donate a tent or pitch it for the warrior, or provide a serviceable mount for him.
