Arabic hadith text

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَحَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وأبدأ بِمن تعول» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ وَمُسلم عَن حَكِيم وَحده

Translation

Abu Hurayrah and Hakim ibn Hizam reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘The best charity is what is given from surplus, and begin with those for whom you are responsible.’ Al-Bukhari and Muslim transmitted it from Hakim alone.
