حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا أَبْقَتْ غَنَاءً، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ. تَقُولُ امْرَأَتُكَ: أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ أَوْ طَلِّقْنِي، وَيَقُولُ مَمْلُوكُكَ: أَنْفِقْ عَلَيَّ أَوْ بِعْنِي، وَيَقُولُ وَلَدُكَ: إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنَا

✧ The best charity is that which leaves self-sufficiency, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin with those you support. Your wife says: Spend on me or divorce me. Your slave says: Spend on me or sell me. Your child says: To whom will you entrust us?

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.
