It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There are four dinars: one dinar is that which you give to a poor person, the second is that which you spend to free a slave, the third is the dinar which you spend in the way of Allah, and the fourth is that which you spend on your family. The best among them is the one which you spend on your family."
