WHEN TO GIVE CHARITY H H 91 "A man went to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and asked: 'Which kind of charity receives the greater reward?' He answered: 'That which you give away while you are in good health, seeking wealth fearful of poverty and hoping for prosperity. Do not delay charitable spending till the throes of death are upon you, and say: To so and so this, and to so and so that, because at that time it already belongs to so and so!" R 91 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related this.
