( وَأَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو صَالِحِ بْنُ أَبِي طَاهِرٍ، أَنْبَأَ جَدِّي يَحْيَى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، قَالَا: ثَنَا يَحْيَى يَعْنِيَانِ ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ، ثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ، أَوْ: خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى.
