Best charity is to a close relative

Sunday, August 27, 2017

أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الْكَاشِحِ
Transliteration

Afdalu-s-sadaqati ala dhi-r-rahimi-l-kashih.

Translation

The best charity is to the relative who harbours animosity.

Narrated by Abu Ayyub·Musnad Ahmad 23074
Reflection

Not the stranger you will never see again. The cousin who slighted you. The uncle who cut ties. That gift carries the highest reward, because it costs the most.

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
