حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، - قَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، - حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ أَبِي قِلاَبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ، عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَفْضَلُ دِينَارٍ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ . قَالَ أَبُو قِلاَبَةَ وَبَدَأَ بِالْعِيَالِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو قِلاَبَةَ وَأَىُّ رَجُلٍ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى عِيَالٍ صِغَارٍ يُعِفُّهُمْ أَوْ يَنْفَعُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَيُغْنِيهِمْ .

Narrator: Thauban

English translation
Thauban reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: The most excellent dinar is one that a person spends on his family, and the dinar which he spends on his animal in Allah's path, and the dinar he spends on his companions in Allah's path. Abu Qilaba (one of the narrators) said: He (the narrator) started with family, and then Abu Qilaba said: Who is the person with greater reward than a person who spends on young members of his family (and thus) preserves (saves them from want) (and by virtue of which) Allah brings profit for them and makes them rich
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ রবী' আয যাহরানী ও কুতায়বাহ ইবনু সাঈদ (রহঃ) ..... সাওবান (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ কোন ব্যক্তি যে সব দীনার (বা স্বর্ণমুদ্রা) ব্যয় করে থাকে এর মধ্যে ঐ দীনারটি উত্তম যা সে তার পরিবার-পরিজনের উদ্দেশে খরচ করে। অনুরূপভাবে আল্লাহর পথে (অর্থাৎ জিহাদের উদ্দেশে) তার আরোহণের জন্তুর জন্য সে যে দীনার ব্যয় করে তা উত্তম এবং আল্লাহর পথে তার সঙ্গীসাথীদের জন্য যে দীনার ব্যয় করে তা উত্তম। আবূ কিলাবাহ বলেন, তিনি পরিবারের লোকজন দিয়ে শুরু করেছেন। অতঃপর আবূ কিলাবাহ (রাযিঃ) আরও বলেন, ঐ ব্যক্তির চেয়ে আর কে বেশী সাওয়াবের অধিকারী যে তার ছোট ছোট সন্তানদের জন্য খরচ করে এবং আল্লাহ তা'আলা এর বিনিময়ে তাদেরকে পবিত্র রাখেন, উপকৃত করেন এবং অভাব মুক্ত রাখেন। (ইসলামী ফাউন্ডেশন ২১৭৯, ইসলামীক সেন্টার)
