Sahih Bukhari

A man asked the Prophet (SAW), "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! What kind of charity is the best?" He replied. "To give in charity when you are healthy and greedy hoping to be wealthy and afraid of becoming poor. Don't delay giving in charity till the time when you are on the death bed when you say, 'Give so much to so-and-so and so much to so-and so,' and at that time the property is not yours but it belongs to so-and-so (i.e. your inheritors)."

Hakim bin Hizam said, "I asked Allah's Apostle (SAW) for something, and he gave me, and I asked him again and he gave me and said, 'O Hakim! This wealth is green and sweet (i.e. as tempting as fruits), and whoever takes it without greed then he is blessed in it, and whoever takes it with greediness, he is not blessed in it and he is like one who eats and never gets satisfied. The upper (i.e. giving) hand is better than the lower (i.e. taking) hand." Hakim added, "I said, O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! By Him Who has sent you with the Truth I will never demand anything from anybody after you till I die.' " Afterwards Abu Bakr used to call Hakim to give him something but he refused to accept anything from him. Then Umar called him to give him (something) but he refused. Then Umar said, "O Muslims! I offered to him (i.e. Hakim) his share which Allah has ordained for him from this booty and he refuses to take it." Thus Hakim did not ask anybody for anything after the Prophet (SAW), till he died - may Allah bestow His mercy upon him.

I heard Allah's Apostle (SAW) saying, "All of you are guardians and responsible for your charges: the Ruler (i.e. Imam) is a guardian and responsible for his subjects; and a man is a guardian of his family and is responsible for his charges; and a lady is a guardian in the house of her husband and is responsible for her charge; and a servant is a guardian of the property of his master and is responsible for his charge." I think he also said, "And a man is a guardian of the property of his father."

The Prophet (SAW) said to Abu Talha, "Give (your garden) to the poor amongst your relatives." So he gave it to Hassan and Ubai bin Kab. Anas added in another narration, "So he gave it to Hassan and Ubai bin Kab who were nearer relatives to him than I." The relation between Hassan and Ubai to Abu Talha was as follows: Abu Talha's name was Zaid, the son of Sahl, the son of Al-Aswad, the son of Haram, the son Amr, the son of Zaid Manat, the son of Adi, the son of Amr, the son of Malik, the son of An-Najjar. Hassan was the son of Thabit, the son of Al-Mundhir, the son of Haram, this means that Talha and Hassan had a common great grandfather (i.e., Haram, the third in the line of descent). Hassan and Abu Talha and Ubai had a common ancestor, Amr bin Malik, the sixth in the lineage, as Ubai was the son of Kab, the son of Qais, the son of Ubaid, the son of Zaid, the son of Muawiya, the son of Amr, the son of Malik, the son of An-Najjar. Some scholars say, "If one wants to will some of his wealth to one's relatives, they must be among those who share a Muslim common ancestor with one."

The Prophet (SAW) said to Abu Talha, "I recommend that you divide (this garden) amongst your relatives." Abu Talha said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! I will do the same." So Abu Talha divided it among his relatives and cousins. Ibn Abbes said, "When the Qur'anic Verse: "And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred' (26.214) was revealed, the Prophet (SAW) started calling the various big families of Quraish, "O Bani Fihr! O Bani Adi!' " Abu Huraira said, "When the Verse: And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred' was revealed, the Prophet (SAW) said (in a loud voice), "O people of Quraish!' "

When Allah revealed the Verse: "And warn your tribe (O Muhammad) of near kindred," Allah's Apostle (SAW) got up and said, "O people of Quraish (or said similar words)! Buy (i.e. save) yourselves (from the Hellfire) as I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Bani Abd Manaf! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment, O Safiya, the Aunt of Allah's Apostle (SAW)! I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment; O Fatima bint Muhammad! Ask me anything from my wealth, but I cannot save you from Allah's Punishment."

The mother of Sad bin Ubada died in his absence. He said, "O Allah's Apostle (SAW)! My mother died in my absence; will it be of any benefit for her if I give Sadaqa (here it means charity) on her behalf?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "Yes," Sad said, "I make you a witness that I gave my garden called Al-Mikhraf in charity on her behalf."
