Sahih Muslim Hadith 2383 – The Best Of

English

[2383] 93 – (…) It was narrated that Abü Hurairah said: "A man came to the Prophet and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, what kind of charity brings the greatest reward?' He said: 'By your father, I shall tell you. Give charity when you are healthy and inclined to be stingy, fearing poverty and hoping to live, and do not put it off until (your soul) reaches the throat and you say: "Such-and- such is for so-and-so, and such- and-such is for so-and-so." No, it has already become the property of so-and-so."
