Spending on Deserving Causes

6ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ جَهْمِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الأَيْدِي ثَلاثَةٌ سَائِلَةٌ وَمُنْفِقَةٌ وَمُمْسِكَةٌ وَخَيْرُ الأَيْدِي الْمُنْفِقَةُ.
6. Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid has narrated from Jahm ibn al-Hakam al-Mad’iniy from Isma‘il ibn abu Ziyad who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, There are three kinds of hands: the asking hand, the withholding hand, and the spending hand, of which the best hand is the spending hand.’”
