Sahih Hadith 000122

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

20th Shawwal 1435 (16th August 2014)

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

A man came to the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) and asked, "O

Allah's Apostle! Which charity is the most superior in reward?" He replied,

"The charity which you practice while you are healthy, niggardly and afraid

of poverty and wish to become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of

approaching death and then say, 'Give so much to such and such, and so much

to such and such.' And it has already belonged to such and such (as it is

too late)."
