Forty hadiths on the virtue of charity.
On the authority of Thawban, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:
The best dinar a man spends
is a dinar he spends on his dependents,
a dinar a man spends on his mount in the way of Allah,
and a dinar he spends on his companions in the way of Allah.
Narrated by Muslim.
Abu Qilabah said:
He began with the dependents.
And what man has a greater reward
than a man who spends on young dependents,
keeping them chaste,
or through whom Allah benefits them and enriches them?
