Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْخَازِنُ الْمُسْلِمُ الْأَمِينُ الَّذِي يُعْطِي مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ كَامِلًا مُوَفَّرًا طَيِّبَةً بِهِ نَفْسُهُ فَيَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى الَّذِي أَمر لَهُ بِهِ أحد المتصدقين»

Translation

Abu Musa al-Ash‘ari reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘The trustworthy Muslim treasurer who gives what he has been instructed to give, fully and in full measure, willingly, and delivers it to the one for whom it was ordered, is one of the two who give charity.’
