It is narrated from Hazrat Tha'labah bin Zahdam that the people of Tha'labah came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon, and he was saying: "The giving hand is the upper hand, and the receiving hand is the lower hand. And begin giving to those who are under your care: your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, the one who is closest to you, and then the one who is next closest."
