the Prophet said to Umar: "We have taken this year's Zakat from Al-Abbas in the previous year."
Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 7, Hadith 63
← Previous Hadith "Al-Abbas asked the Messenger of Allah about paying his charity (Zakat) in advance before its time is due (by being in possession for a whole year), he permitted him to do that."

Jami` at-Tirmidhi Book 7, Hadith 62 Next Hadith → the Messenger of Allah saying: "For one of you to go out early to gather firewood and carry it on his back so that he can give charity from it and be free of need from the people, is better for him than to ask a man who may give that to him or refuse. Indeed the upper hand (giving) is more virtuous than the lower hand (receiving), and begin with (those who are) your dependants."
