Hadith 5:892

Ibn Fudayl narrated to us, from ‘Asim ibn Kulayb, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. The best of charity is that which leaves behind sufficiency. And begin with those whom you support."

حدثنا بن فضيل عن عاصم بن كليب عن أبيه عن أبي هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اليد العليا خير من اليد السفلى وخير الصدقة ما أبقت غنى وابدأ بمن تعول
