حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ حَرِيصٌ تَأْمُلُ الْبَقَاءَ وَتَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ وَلاَ تُمْهِلْ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ قُلْتَ لِفُلاَنٍ كَذَا وَلِفُلاَنٍ كَذَا وَقَدْ كَانَ لِفُلاَنٍ ‏"‏ .

Narrator: Abu Hurairah

English translation
Narrated Abu Hurairah: A man asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): Messenger of Allah, which sadaqah (charity) is the best ? He replied: (The best sadaqah is) that you give something as sadaqah (charity) when you are healthy, greedy, expect survival and fear poverty, and not that you postpone it until your death. and then you say: For so-and-so is such-and-such, and for so-and-so is such-and-such, while it was already for so-and-so
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, এক ব্যক্তি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-কে বললো, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! কোন ধরণের সাদাকাহ উত্তম? তিনি বলেন, সুস্থ ও সচ্ছল অবস্থায় সাদাকাহ করা। যখন তুমি বেঁচে থাকার আরো আশা রাখো এবং গরীব হওয়ারও আশঙ্কা করো। তুমি এতটা বিলম্ব করবে না যে, প্রাণবায়ু উড়ে যাওয়ার পূর্ব মুহূর্তে তুমি বলবে, অমুকের জন্য এতটুকু এবং অমুকের জন্য এতটুকু (সাদাকাহ করলাম)। কেননা তখন তো সেটা অমুকের জন্য হয়েই গেছে।
