حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُو
سَى بْنَ طَلْحَةَ أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ أَوْ أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا أَبْقَتْ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ
