Hadith 8.1

Zakat

ENGLISH

Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “Of a dinar you spend as a contribution in God’s path, or to set free a slave, or as <i>sadaqa</i> given to a poor man, or in support of your family, the one spent in support of your family produces the greatest reward.” Muslim transmitted it.

ARABIC

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «دِينَار أنفقته فِي سَبِيل الله ودينار أنفقته فِي رَقَبَةٍ وَدِينَارٌ تَصَدَّقْتَ بِهِ عَلَى مِسْكِينٍ وَدِينَارٌ أَنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ أَعْظَمُهَا أَجْرًا الَّذِي أنفقته على أهلك» . رَوَاهُ مُسلم
