Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) said : Sadaqah is not lawful for a rich person except what comes as a result of Jihad or what a poor neighbor gifts you out of the sadaqah given to him, or he entertains you in a feast.Abu-Dawud said : This has been transmitted by Abu- Said through a different chain of narrators in a similar way.
