Mishkat al-Masabih #1848
Zakat
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «جُهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ» . رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
Abu Huraira asked God’s messenger what kind of sadaqa was most excellent and he replied,
“What a man with little property can afford to give; and begin with those for whom you are responsible.”
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
