حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَعْظَمُ ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ تَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ، وَتَأْمُلُ الْبَقَاءَ، وَلَا تُمْهِلْ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ، قُلْتَ: لِفُلَانٍ كَذَا، وَلِفُلَانٍ كَذَا، أَلَا وَقَدْ كَانَ لِفُلَانٍ

✧ A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which charity is greatest?" He said: "That you give charity while you are healthy, miserly, fearing poverty and hoping for long life, and do not delay until it reaches the throat and you say: 'For so-and-so this, and for so-and-so that,' when it already belongs to so-and-so."
