حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ حَرِيصٌ. تَأْمُلُ الْغِنَى، وَتَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ، وَلاَ تُمْهِلْ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْحُلْقُومَ قُلْتَ لِفُلاَنٍ كَذَا وَلِفُلاَنٍ كَذَا، وَقَدْ كَانَ لِفُلاَنٍ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What kind of charity is the best?" He replied. "To give in charity when you are healthy and greedy hoping to be wealthy and afraid of becoming poor. Don't delay giving in charity till the time when you are on the death bed when you say, 'Give so much to so-and-so and so much to so-and-so,' and at that time the property is not yours but it belongs to so-and-so (i.e. your inheritors)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ হুরাইরাহ্ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, এক ব্যক্তি নবী (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম)-কে জিজ্ঞেস করল, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! উত্তম সদাকাহ কোনটি? তিনি বলেন, সুস্থ এবং সম্পদের প্রতি অনুরাগ থাকা অবস্থায় দান খয়রাত করা, যখন তোমার ধনী হবার আকাঙ্ক্ষা থাকে এবং তুমি দারিদ্রের আশংকা কর, আর তুমি এভাবে অপেক্ষায় থাকবে না যে, যখন তোমার প্রাণ কন্ঠাগত হবে, তখন তুমি বলবে, অমুকের জন্য এতটুকু, অমুকের জন্য এতটুকু অথচ তা অমুকের জন্য হয়েই গেছে। (১৪১৯) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৫৪৬, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
