حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، نَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا تَصَدَّقْتَ بِهَا عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ، [تَقُولُ امْرَأَتُكَ: أَطْعِمْنِي أَوْ طَلِّقْنِي، وَيَقُولُ وَلَدُكَ: إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنَا ؟ وَيَقُولُ خَادِمُكَ: أَنْفِقْ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: - عَلَيَّ - أَوْ بِعْنِي ]

✧ The best charity is what you give while you are wealthy, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin with those you support. [Your wife says: Feed me or divorce me; your child says: To whom are you leaving us?; and your servant says: Spend on me—I think he said—or sell me.]

وهم إسحاق في اختصار هذا الحديث وذلك أن الحديث إنما هو عاصم عن أبي صالح عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ابدأ بمن تعول تقول امرأتك أنفق علي أو طلقني فتأول هذا الحديث
machine translationIsḥāq erred in abridging this hadith. The hadith is actually from ʿĀṣim, from Abū Ṣāliḥ, from Abū Hurayrah, from the Prophet ﷺ: "Begin with those whom you support. Your wife says: 'Spend on me or divorce me.'" Then he interpreted this hadith.
