Mishkat al-Masabih #1839
Zakat
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَحَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وأبدأ بِمن تعول» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ وَمُسلم عَن حَكِيم وَحده
Abu Huraira and Hakim b. Hizam reported God’s messenger as saying,
“The best sadaqa is that which leaves a competence; and begin with those for whom you are responsible.”
Bukhari transmitted it, but Muslim transmitted it from Hakim alone.
