Abu Hurayra said, “A man came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, which sadaqa has the greatest reward?’ He said, ‘The sadaqa that you give when you are healthy but tight-fisted, in fear of poverty and desiring wealth. Do not put it off until death is near and you say, “So-and-so should have this much and so-and-so this much,”‘ when it already belongs to someone else.” [Agreed upon]
