وَبِهِ: حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ وَهُوَ عُمَارَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:
إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ: " أَنْ تُؤْتِيَهَا وَأَنْتَ حَرِيصٌ، شَحِيحٌ، تَأْمُلُ الْعَيْشَ، وَتَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ، وَلَا تُمْهِلْ، حَتَّى إِذَا حَضَرَكَ الْمَوْتُ قُلْتَ: لِفُلَانٍ كَذَا وَلِفُلَانٍ كَذَا، وَقَدْ كَانَ لَهُ

✧ A man said: "O Messenger of God, which charity is best?" He said: "That you give it while you are desirous, miserly, hoping for a long life and fearing poverty; and do not delay until, when death approaches you, you say: 'For so-and-so is such-and-such, and for so-and-so is such-and-such,' when it already belongs to him."
