Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ دِينَارٍ دِينَارٌ أَنْفَقَهُ رَجُلٌ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ أَوْ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ.

Isma'il narrated to us, Ayyub narrated to us, from Abu Qilabah, from someone who narrated to him, from Thawban, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The best dinar is a dinar spent by a man on his family, or on his mount in the cause of Allah, or on his companions in the cause of Allah."
