Thauban reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) as saying: The most excellent dinar is one that a person spends on his family, and the dinar which he spends on his animal in Allah's path, and the dinar he spends on his companions in Allah's path. Abu Qilaba (one of the narrators) said: He (the narrator) started with family, and then Abu Qilaba said: Who is the person with greater reward than a person who spends on young members of his family (and thus) preserves (saves them from want) (and by virtue of which) Allah brings profit for them and makes them rich.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ وَقُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ كِلَاهُمَا عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَسْمَاءَ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَفْضَلُ دِينَارٍ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَدِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ وَبَدَأَ بِالْعِيَالِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ وَأَيُّ رَجُلٍ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى عِيَالٍ صِغَارٍ يُعِفُّهُمْ أَوْ يَنْفَعُهُمْ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَيُغْنِيهِمْ
  ابو قلابہ نے ابو اسماء ( رحبی ) سے اور انھوں نے حضرت ثوبان رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت کی انھوں نے کہا : رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فر ما یا : " بہترین دینار جسے انسان خرچ کرتا ہے وہ دینا ر ہے جسے وہ اپنے اہل و عیالپر خرچ کرتا ہے اور وہ دینار ہے جسے انسان اللہ کی را ہ میں ( جہاد کرنے کے لیے ) اپنے جا نور ( سواری ) پر خرچ کرتا ہے اور وہ دینا ر ہے جسے وہ اللہ کے را ستے میں اپنے ساتھیوں پر خرچ کرتا ہے ۔ پھر ابو قلابہ نے کہا : آپ نے اہل و عیال سے ابتدا فر ما ئی پھر ابو قلا بہ نے کہا : اجر میں اس آدمی سے بڑھ کر کو ن ہو سکتا ہے جو چھوٹے بچوں پر خرچ کرتا ہے وہ ان کو ( سوال کی ) ذلت سے بچاتا ہے یا اللہ اس کے ذریعے سے انھیں فائدہ پہنچاتا ہے اور غنی کرتا ہے ۔

The Messenger of Allah ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) said: Well done! that is a profitable deal, that is a profitable deal.
