The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 35 (#Ḥadīth #2)

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الْكَاشِحِ.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from al-Nawfaliy from al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, was asked, ‘What kind of charity giving is more virtuous?’ He (the Messenger of Allah), O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, replied, ‘It is charity to a hostile relative.’”
