أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ سَوَّادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ " .
Amr ibn Sawwad ibn al-Aswad ibn Amr reported from Ibn Wahb, who said: Yunus informed us, from Ibn Shihab, who said: Saeed ibn al-Musayyib told us that he heard Abu Hurayrah say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The best charity is what is given from surplus means, and begin with those you support.
