Musnad Ahmad 19686

Translation

✧ Every Muslim must give charity. They said, "What if he finds nothing?" He said, "He should work with his hands, benefit himself, and give charity." They said, "What if he cannot or does not do that?" He said, "Then he should help a needy person in distress." They said, "What if he cannot or does not do that?" He said, "Then he should enjoin good." They said, "What if he cannot or does not do that?" He said, "Then he should refrain from evil, for that is charity."
