أَفْضَلُ الصَّدَقَةِ أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ، تَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ وَتَأْمُلُ الْغِنَى

Afdalu-s-sadaqati an tatasaddaqa wa anta sahihun shahih, takhsha-l-faqra wa ta'mulu-l-ghina.
Translation
The best charity is what you give while you are healthy and stingy, fearing poverty and hoping for wealth.
