Giving Charity

A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which charity brings the greatest reward?" He said, "If you give in charity when you are healthy and miserly, fearing poverty and hoping for richness. Do not delay until you are at the point of death and you say: 'Give this to so and so, give this to so and so,' when it already belongs to so and so."
(Saheeh al Bukhari, 1419)
