adab:195

Al-Miqdam heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "What you feed yourself is sadaqa. What you feed your child, your wife and your servant is sadaqa."

الأدب المفرد:١٩٥حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ

سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا أَطْعَمْتَ نَفْسَكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ وَلَدَكَ وَزَوْجَتَكَ وَخَادِمَكَ فَهُوَ صَدَقَةٌ
