Abu Huraira and Hakim b. Hizam reported God’s messenger as saying,
“The best sadaqa is that which leaves a competence; and begin with those for whom you are responsible.”
Bukhari transmitted it, but Muslim transmitted it from Hakim alone.
Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying,
“Of a dinar you spend as a contribution in God’s path, or to set free a slave, or as sadaqa given to a poor man, or in support of your family, the one spent in support of your family produces the greatest reward.”
Abu Umama told of Abu Dharr asking God’s Prophet to tell him what the reward for sadaqa would be, and receiving the reply,
“Many times as much, and more still with God.”
