1966. Thawbān narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The most virtuous of Dinar is the Dinar spent by a man on his dependants, and the Dinar spent by a man on his beast in the Cause of Allāh, and the Dinar spent by a man on his companions in the Cause of Allāh." Abū Qilābah (one of the narrators) said: "He ﷺ began with the dependants." Then he said: "And which man is greater in reward than a man who spends upon his dependants, having little ones by which Allāh causes him to abstain (from the unlawful) and by which Allāh enriches him." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Commentary
The Ḥadīth confirms that the three Dinar named in it are the best and most virtuous of all. As for Abū Qilābah, ﷺ, he means to say that he ﷺ only mentioned the Dinar spent on one's dependents first because it is the best of all Dinar.
