وَحَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأُبُلِّيُّ قَالَ: نَا حَفْصُ بْنُ جُمَيْعٍ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، وَالْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: قَالَ:
" أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ " قَالُوا: اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ: أَنْ يَمْنَحَ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ الدَّرَاهِمَ، أَوْ ظَهْرَ الدَّابَّةِ
