It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The best charity is that which is given after fulfilling one's own need, and when spending, begin with those whose maintenance is your responsibility, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Mu'ammar says: I asked Ayyub, what is the meaning of "an zahr ghina"? He said: That which is more than your need and sufficiency.
