حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا تَرَكَ غِنًى، وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ ‏"‏. تَقُولُ الْمَرْأَةُ إِمَّا أَنْ تُطْعِمَنِي وَإِمَّا أَنْ تُطَلِّقَنِي. وَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ أَطْعِمْنِي وَاسْتَعْمِلْنِي. وَيَقُولُ الاِبْنُ أَطْعِمْنِي، إِلَى مَنْ تَدَعُنِي فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم. قَالَ لاَ هَذَا مِنْ كِيسِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.

English translation
Narrated Abu Huraira: "The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'The best alms is that which is given when one is rich, and a giving hand is better than a taking one, and you should start first to support your dependents.' A wife says, 'You should either provide me with food or divorce me.' A slave says, 'Give me food and enjoy my service." A son says, "Give me food; to whom do you leave me?" The people said, "O Abu Huraira! Did you hear that from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" He said, "No, it is from my own self

আবূ হুরাইরাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ উত্তম সদাকাহ হলো যা দান করার পরে মানুষ অমুখাপেক্ষী থাকে। উপরের হাত নীচের হাতের চেয়ে শ্রেষ্ঠ। যাদের ভরণ-পোষণ তোমার দায়িত্বে আছে তাদের আগে দাও। (কেননা) স্ত্রী বলবে, হয় আমাকে খাবার দাও, নইলে তালাক দাও। গোলাম বলবে, খাবার দাও এবং কাজ করাও। ছেলে বলবে, আমাকে খাবার দাও, আমাকে তুমি কার কাছে ছেড়ে যাচ্ছ? লোকেরা জিজ্ঞেস করলঃ হে আবূ হুরাইরা! আপনি কি এ হাদীস রাসূলুল্লাহসাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে শুনেছেন? তিনি উত্তরে বললেন, এটি আবূ হুরাইরার থলে থেকে (পাওয়া) নয় (বরং নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে)। [১৪২৬] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৪৯৫৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
