فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَلَّا تَعُولُوا} [النساء 3] قَالَ ذَلِكَ أَدْنَى أَنْ لَا يَكْثُرَ مَنْ تَعُولُونَهُ وَالْحَدِيثُ فِي سَبَبِ نُزُولِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قَدْ مَضَى فِي كِتَابِ النِّكَاحِ  

لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ مَالِهِ قَالَ خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَوَلَدَكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged giving charity. A man came and said, "I have a Dinar." He said, "Spend it on yourself." The man said, "I have another one." He said, "Spend it on your child." The man said, "I have another one." He said, "Spend it on your family." In another narration by Abu Asim, it is mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Spend it on your wife." In another narration by Abu Asim, it is mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Spend it on your servant." The man kept asking, and in each answer, the Prophet ﷺ mentioned a different person. Eventually, the Prophet ﷺ said, "You know best." In another narration by Abu Asim, Sufyan added, in his reporting from Ibn Ajlan, that Sa'id said, "Then Abu Huraira would say, when narrating this Hadith, 'Let your child spend on me. To whom will you assign me?' Your wife would say, 'Spend on me or divorce me.' Your servant would say, 'To whom will you assign me? Spend on me or sell me.'"

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ  

[Machine] I said: O Messenger of Allah, should we have an intimate relationship with our wives or should we practice abstinence? He replied: Approach your field as you please, but do not hit the face, do not revile, and do not abandon her except within the house. Feed her when you eat and clothe her when you dress. How can one of you fully satisfy his desires with his wife, while also refraining from using her, and another from among you does the same with his wife?  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نِسَاؤُنَا مَا نَأْتِي مِنْهَا أَمْ مَا نَذَرُ قَالَ ائْتِ حَرْثَكَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ غَيْرَ أَنْ لَا تَضْرِبَ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَطْعِمْ إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَاكْسُ إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ كَيْفَ وَقَدْ أَفْضَى بَعْضُكُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ  

It is sufficient sin for a man that he neglects him whom he maintains. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1692)   

رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُضَيِّعَ مَنْ يَقُوتُ  

أَعَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُ إِذَا أَنْفَقَ نَفَقَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ يَحْتَسِبُهَا كُتِبَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةً  

The Prophet ﷺ came visiting me while I was (sick) in Mecca, ('Amir the sub-narrator said, and he disliked to die in the land, whence he had already migrated). He (i.e. the Prophet) said, "May Allah bestow His Mercy on Ibn Afra (Saʿd bin Khaula)." I said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! May I will all my property (in charity)?" He said, "No." I said, "Then may I will half of it?" He said, "No". I said, "One third?" He said: "Yes, one third, yet even one third is too much. It is better for you to leave your inheritors wealthy than to leave them poor begging others, and whatever you spend for Allah's sake will be considered as a charitable deed even the handful of food you put in your wife's mouth. Allah may lengthen your age so that some people may benefit by you, and some others be harmed by you." At that time Saʿd had only one daughter. (Using translation from Bukhārī 2742)   

جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَعُودُنِي وَأَنَا بِمَكَّةَ وَهُوَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَمُوتَ أَحَدُنَا بِالْأَرْضِ الَّتِي هَاجَرَ مِنْهَا فَقَالَ يَرْحَمُ اللهُ ﷻ ابْنَ عَفْرَاءَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُوصِي بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَبِالشَّطْرِ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَبِالثُّلُثِ قَالَ الثُّلُثُ وَالثُّلُثُ كَثِيرٌ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَدَعْ وَرَثَتَكَ أَغْنِيَاءَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَدَعَهُمْ عَالَةً يَتَكَفَّفُونَ النَّاسَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَإِنَّكَ مَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةَ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ وَعَسَى الله ﷻ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ بِكَ قَوْمًا وَيَضُرَّ بِكَ آخَرِينَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلَّا ابْنَةٌ  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ دِينَارٌ أَعْطَيْتَهُ مِسْكِينًا وَدِينَارٌ أَعْطَيْتَهُ فِي رَقَبَةٍ وَدِينَارٌ أَعْطَيْتَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَدِينَارٌ أَنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ قَالَ الدِّينَارُ الَّذِي أَنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا  

The most excellent dinar is one that a person spends on his family, and the dinar which he spends on his animal in Allah's path, and the dinar he spends on his companions in Allah's path. Abu Qilaba (one of the narrators) said: He (the narrator) started with family, and then Abu Qilaba said: Who is the person with greater reward than a person who spends on young members of his family (and thus) preserves (saves them from want) (and by virtue of which) Allah brings profit for them and makes them rich. (Using translation from Muslim 994)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَفْضَلُ دِينَارٍ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ دِينَارٌ يُنْفِقُهُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ قَالَ أَبُو قِلَابَةَ وَبَدَأَ بِالْعِيَالِ فَأِيُّ رَجُلٍ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى عِيَالٍ صِغَارٍ يَقُوتُهُمُ اللهُ وَيَنْفَعُهُمْ بِهِ  

the Prophet said: "The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1977)   

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ خَيْرُكُمْ خَيْرُكُمْ لِأَهْلِهِ وَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ لِأَهْلِي وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] Sufyan Ath-Thawri asked me, "What do you have for food?" I replied, "Nothing." He then mentioned a narration that Ma'mar narrated from Az-Zuhri from Malik ibn Aws from Umar that the Prophet ﷺ used to sell the dates of Banu Nadir and preserve the provisions for his family for a year.  

قَالَ لِي سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ إِيشِ عِنْدَكَ فِي الْقُوتِ؟ قُلْتُ لَا شَيْءَ قَالَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ بَعْدُ حَدِيثًا حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَوْسٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يَبِيعُ نَخْلَ بَنِي النَّضِيرِ وَيَحْبِسُ لِأَهْلِهِ قُوتَ سَنَتِهِمْ  

[Machine] Narrated by Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him: Regarding the blessings that Allah conferred upon His Messenger, Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend on his family the expenditure of their whole year from this money. Then, he would take what remained and make it the wealth of Allah."  

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ فِيمَا أَفَاءَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ قَالَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُنْفِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ نَفَقَةَ سَنَتِهِمْ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَالِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ مَا بَقِيَ فَيَجْعَلُهُ مَجْعَلَ مَالِ اللهِ  

[Machine] "So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came with a handful of dates and said, 'Take this and give charity with it.' He mentioned it and Ata' said, 'So I asked Sa'id how much of dates were in that handful?' He said, 'Between fifteen to twenty sa's.'"  

فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقِ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذَا فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ عَطَاءٌ فَسَأَلْتُ سَعِيدًا كَمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَرَقِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ؟ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا إِلَى عِشْرِينَ  

[Machine] Narrated by Prophet Muhammad, ﷺ : "Feed sixty poor people." He said, "I do not have anything." So the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , came with a chunk in which there were fifteen sa' (measurement unit). He said, "Take it and give it in charity." Abu Amr al-Adibi informed us, I am Abu Bakr al-Ismaeely, I am Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Mansoor al-Kateeb, I am Al-Hakam bin Musa, Hikl narrated from Al-Awza'i, who narrated from Al-Zuhri, and he mentioned it this way.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَطْعِمْ سِتِّينَ مِسْكِينًا قَالَ مَا أَجِدُ قَالَ فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَقٍ فِيهِ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ صَاعًا قَالَ خُذْهُ فَتَصَدَّقْ بِهِ أَخْبَرَنَاه أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ الْكَاتِبُ نا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ مُوسَى نا هِقْلٌ عَنِ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ هَكَذَا  

That he was with the Messenger of Allah in Ihram and he suffered an infestation of head lice. The Messenger of Allah commanded him to shave his head and told him: "Fast for three days, or fed six poor persons two Mudds earch, or sacrifice a sheep. Whichever one of these you do will be sufficient for you.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2851)   

أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُحْرِمًا فَآذَاهُ الْقَمْلُ فَأَمَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَحْلِقَ رَأْسَهُ وَقَالَ صُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ أَوْ أَطْعِمْ سِتَّةَ مَسَاكِينَ مُدَّيْنِ مُدَّيْنِ أَوْ أَنْسِكْ شَاةً أِيَّ ذَلِكَ فَعَلْتَ أَجْزَأَ عَنْكَ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] He obligated a woman and her servant to pay twelve dirhams – eight for the woman and four for the servant – and one dirham from the eight for cotton and linen. This is a weak transmission, and Allah knows best.  

أَنَّهُ فَرَضَ لِامْرَأَةٍ وَخَادِمِهَا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ دِرْهَمًا لِلْمَرْأَةِ ثَمَانِيَةٌ وَلِلْخَادِمِ أَرْبَعٌ وَدِرْهَمًا مِنَ الثَّمَانِيَةِ لِلْقُطْنِ وَالْكَتَّانِ هَذَا إِسْنَادٌ ضَعِيفٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] To spend or to divorce; if they divorce, they shall send with a provision what they have withheld.  

بِأَنْ يُنْفِقُوا أَوْ يُطَلِّقُوا فَإِنْ طَلَّقُوا بَعَثُوا بِنَفَقَةِ مَا حَبَسُوا  

[Machine] To be a sunnah (way) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ .  

أَنْ تَكُونَ سُنَّةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمِثْلِهِ  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , who said: "The best of charity is that given when one is wealthy, and the upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin with those who depend on you." He was asked, "Who are those who depend on me, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "Your wife says, 'Feed me, or else divorce me,' and your servant says, 'Feed me and employ me,' and your child says, 'Who will take care of me if you leave me?' This is how it is."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ مِنْهَا عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ قَالَ وَمَنْ أَعُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ امْرَأَتُكَ تَقُولُ أَطْعِمْنِي وَإِلَّا فَارِقْنِي خَادِمُكَ يَقُولُ أَطْعِمْنِي وَاسْتَعْمِلْنِي وَلَدُكَ يَقُولُ إِلَى مَنْ تَتْرُكُنِي؟ هَكَذَا  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا تَرَكَ غِنًى وَالْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ تَقُولُ امْرَأَتُكَ أَطْعِمْنِي وَإِلَّا فَطَلِّقْنِي وَيَقُولُ خَادِمُكَ أَطْعِمْنِي وَإِلَّا فَبِعْنِي وَيَقُولُ وَلَدُكَ إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي؟ قَالُوا يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ هَذَا شَيْءٌ تَقُولُهُ مِنْ رَأْيِكَ أَوْ مِنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ لَا بَلْ هَذَا مِنْ كَيْسِي  

Abu Salamah bin ‘Abd Al Rahman reported on the authority of Fatimah daughter of Qais Abu ‘Amr bin Hafs divorced her (Fatimah daughter of Qais) absolutely when he was away from home and his agent sent her home barley. She was displeased with it. He said “I swear by Allah, you have no claim on us. She then came to Apostle of Allah ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said to her “No maintenance is due to you from him. He ordered her to spend the waiting period in the house of Umm Sharik but he said afterwards “that is a woman whom my Companions visit. Spend the waiting period in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum for he is blind and you can undress. Then when you are in a position of being remarried, tell me.” She said “When I was in a position to remarry, I mentioned to him that Mu’awiyah bin Abi Sufyan and Abu Jahm had asked me in marriage. The Apostle of Allah ﷺsaid “As for Abu Jahm, he does not put down his stick from his shoulder, and as for Mu’awiyah he is a poor man who has no property; marry Usamah bin Zaid. I disliked him but he said “Marry Usamah bin Zaid. So, I married him. And Allah prospered him very much and I was envied.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2284)   

وَاللهِ مَا لَكِ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهَا لَيْسَ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ وَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ تِلْكَ امْرَأَةٌ يَغْشَاهَا أَصْحَابِي اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ وَإِذَا حَلَلْتِ فَآذِنِينِي قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا حَلَلْتُ ذَكَرْتُ لَهُ أَنَّ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَأَبَا جَهْمٍ خَطَبَانِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَمَّا أَبُو جَهْمٍ فَلَا يَضَعُ عَصَاهُ عَنْ عَاتِقِهِ وَأَمَّا مُعَاوِيَةُ فَصُعْلُوكٌ لَا مَالَ لَهُ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ قَالَتْ فَكَرِهْتُهُ فَقَالَ انْكِحِي أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَنَكَحْتُهُ فَجَعَلَ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا وَاغْتَبَطْتُ  

There is no maintenance allowance for you, and you better go to the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and live with him for he is a blind man and you can put off your clothes in his house (i. e. you shall not face much difficulty in observing purdah there). (Using translation from Muslim 1480c)   

أَنْ يُنْفِقَ عَلَيْهَا فَجَاءَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ فَانْتَقِلِي وَاذْهَبِي إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَكُونِي عِنْدَهُ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى تَضَعِينَ ثِيَابَكِ عِنْدَهُ  

By Allah, I will inform Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and if maintenance allowance is due to me then I will accept that which will suffice me, and if it is not due to me, I will not accept anything from him. She said: I made a mention of that to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: There is neither maintenance allowance for you nor lodging. (Using translation from Muslim 1480b)   

أَنَّهُ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ نَفَقَ عَلَيْهَا نَفَقَةً دُونَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ لَأُكَلِّمَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ لِي نَفَقَةٌ أَخَذْتُ الَّذِي يُصْلِحُنِي وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِي نَفَقَةٌ لَمْ آخُذْ شَيْئًا قَالَتْ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ وَلَا سُكْنَى  

[Machine] A man from the tribe of Makhzum divorced his wife on the spot. She then sent word to her family seeking financial support, but they refused to provide for her. So she went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him of her situation. He told her that her family was not obligated to support her, but she must observe the waiting period. He advised her to go to Umm Sharik, who was a woman frequented by her brothers from the early Muslim migrants. She then should go to the son of Umm Maktoom, who was a blind man. If she were to undress in front of him, he would not see anything. The Prophet ﷺ added, "Do not put us in a difficult position." She replied, "When I am free of my obligations, men will want to propose to me." The Prophet then asked, "And what about Osama?" She did not like that suggestion and said, "I will only marry the one you mentioned." So she got married. Muhammad bin Amr narrated from Muhammad bin Ibrahim that Aisha used to advise Fatimah, saying, "Fear Allah, for I know what led to this."  

رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ فَطَلَّقَهَا الْبَتَّةَ فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ تَبْتَغِي النَّفَقَةَ فَقَالُوا لَيْسَتْ لَكِ عَلَيْنَا نَفَقَةٌ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَتْ لَكِ عَلَيْهِ نَفَقَةٌ وَعَلَيْكِ الْعِدَّةُ فَانْتَقِلِي إِلَى أُمِّ شَرِيكٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّ شَرِيكٍ امْرَأَةٌ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا إِخْوَتُهَا مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينِ الْأَوَّلِينَ فَانْتَقِلِي إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى إِنْ وَضَعْتِ ثَوْبَكِ لَمْ يَرَ شَيْئًا وَلَا تُفَوِّتِينَا بِنَفْسِكَ قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا أَحَلَّتْ ذَكَرَهَا رِجَالٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَأَيْنَ أَنْتِ عَنْ أُسَامَةَ؟ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّ أَهْلَهَا كَرِهُوا ذَلِكَ قَالَتْ لَا وَاللهِ لَا أَنْكِحُ إِلَّا الَّذِي قَالَ فَنَكَحَتْهُ قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو فَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ؓ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ يَا فَاطِمَةُ اتَّقِي اللهَ فَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ أِيِّ شَيْءٍ كَانَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] And its deputy, I do not have any obligation to you in terms of expenses. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and asked him about that. He told her the truth and conveyed it to the son of Umm Makhtum. The people denied what she used to say about his departure before it was resolved.  

لِي وَكِيلُهُ مَا لَكِ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ فَجَاءَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا صَدَقَ وَنَقَلَهَا إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَأَنْكَرَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا مَا كَانَتْ تُحَدِّثُ مِنْ خُرُوجِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَحِلَّ  

By Allah, there is no maintenance allowance for you, except in case you are pregnant. She came to Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) and mentioned their opinion to him, whereupon he said: There is no maintenance allowance for you. Then she sought permission to move (to another place), and he (the Holy Prophet) permitted her. She said: Messenger of Allah, where (should I go)? He said: To the house of Ibn Umm Maktum and, as he is blind, she could put off her garmeqts in his presence and he would not see her. And when her 'Idda was over. Allah's Apostle ﷺ married her to Usama b. Zaid. Marwan (the governor of Medina) sent Qabisa b. Dhuwaib in order to ask her about this hadith, and she narrated it to him, whereupon Marwan said: We have not heard this hadith but from a woman. We would adopt a safe (path) where we found the people. Fatima said that when these words of, Marwan were conveyed to her. There is between me and you the word of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic: Do" not turn them out" of their houses. She asserted: This is in regard to the revocable divorce what new (turn can the event take) after three pronouncements (separation between irrevocable). Why do you say there is no maintenance allowance for her if she is not pregnant? Then on what ground do you restrain her? (Using translation from Muslim 1480h)   

حَامِلًا فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ قَوْلَهُمَا فَقَالَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ وَاسْتَأْذَنَتْهُ فِي الِانْتِقَالِ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ أَيْنَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ إِلَى ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ أَعْمَى تَضَعُ ثِيَابَهَا عِنْدَهُ وَلَا يَرَاهَا فَلَمَّا مَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا أَنْكَحَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا مَرْوَانُ قَبِيصَةَ بْنَ ذُؤَيْبٍ يَسْأَلُهَا عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثَتْهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لَمْ نَسْمَعْ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ سَنَأْخُذُ بِالْعِصْمَةِ الَّتِي وَجَدْنَا النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ؓ حِينَ بَلَغَهَا قَوْلُ مَرْوَانَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ قَالَ اللهُ ﷻ لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَ {لَا تَدْرِي لَعَلَّ اللهَ يُحْدِثُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَمْرًا} [الطلاق 1] قَالَتْ هَذَا لِمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ مُرَاجَعَةٌ فَأِيُّ أَمْرٍ يَحْدُثُ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثِ فَكَيْفَ تَقُولُونَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا إِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ حَامِلًا فَعَلَامَ تَحْبِسُونَهَا؟  

[Machine] "So I gathered my clothes and went to the Prophet ﷺ. He asked me, 'How many times did your husband divorce you?' I replied, 'Three times.' He said, 'It is true that you are no longer entitled to any provision. Prepare yourself to stay in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum, where you can put aside your clothes.'"  

فَجَمَعْتُ عَلَيَّ ثِيَابِي فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ كَمْ طَلَّقَكِ؟ فَقُلْتُ ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ صَدَقَ لَا نَفَقَةَ لَكِ اعْتَدِّي فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ تَضَعِينَ عَنْكِ ثِيَابَكِ  

[Machine] About the divorce of the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , she said, "Her husband divorced her talaq." She said, "So I argued with him in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about housing and financial support." She said, "He did not assign me a house or financial support and he ordered me to reside in the house of Ibn Umm Maktum."  

عَنْ قَضَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ طَلَّقَهَا زَوْجُهَا الْبَتَّةَ قَالَتْ فَخَاصَمْتُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةِ قَالَتْ فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً وَأَمَرَنِي أَنْ اعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ  

[Machine] My husband divorced me three times, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not grant me a dwelling or provision.  

طَلَّقَنِي زَوْجِي ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to Fatimah bint Qays, "O Fatimah, indeed, the residence and provisions belong to the one upon whom returning to her husband is required." This is the statement presented by Al-Aswad ibn 'Amir, although the authentic narration is the first one. The sheikh narrated from a group, from Abu Salamah ibn 'Abdul Rahman, from Fatimah bint Qays regarding the negation of the provisions but not the residence. The same narration was also reported by 'Ubaidullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Utbah from Fatimah, and in the narration of some of them from Abu Salamah, as well as in the narrations of Al-Sha'bi and Al-Bahiy. All of them agreed upon her negation. There was a difference of opinion concerning Abu Bakr ibn Abi Al-Jahm's narration from Fatimah. It is most likely that the context of the hadith states that the Prophet ﷺ denied her provisions and allowed her to move due to a reason, perhaps out of shyness from mentioning it, while others have mentioned it previously in the book of "Al-Adad" (numbers). And the negation of the residence was not mentioned initially, is it not clear to you? ﷺ did not say to her, "Go wherever you want," but rather he protected her where he thought best, when her husband was absent and she had no guardian to protect her. As for his statement, "Indeed, the residence and provisions belong to the one upon whom returning to her husband is required," it is not known from the perspective that confirms it. As for the denial of those who denied it to Fatimah, it is only due to their silence being the cause of its transmission.  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِفَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ يَا فَاطِمَةُ إِنَّمَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ لِمَنْ كَانَ لِزَوْجِهَا عَلَيْهَا الرَّجْعَةُ كَذَا أَتَى بِهِ الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ شَاذَانُ وَالصَّحِيحُ هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رِوَايَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ فِي نَفْيِ النَّفَقَةِ دُونَ السُّكْنَى وَكَذَلِكَ رِوَايَةُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ بَعْضِهِمْ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الشَّعْبِيِّ وَالْبَهِيِّ نَفْيُهُمَا جَمِيعًا وَاخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ وَالْأَشْبَهُ بِسِيَاقِ الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَفَى النَّفَقَةَ وَأَذِنَ لَهَا فِي الِانْتِقَالِ لِعِلَّةٍ لَعَلَّهَا اسْتَحَيَتْ مِنْ ذِكْرِهَا وَقَدْ ذَكَرَهَا غَيْرُهَا عَلَى مَا قَدَّمْنَا ذِكْرَهَا فِي كِتَابِ الْعِدَدِ وَلَمْ يَرِدْ نَفْيُ السُّكْنَى أَصْلًا أَلَا تَرَاهُ ﷺ لَمْ يَقُلْ لَهَا اعْتَدِّي حَيْثُ شِئْتِ وَلَكِنَّهُ حَصَنَهَا حَيْثُ رَضِيَ إِذْ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا غَائِبًا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَكِيلٌ يُحْصِنُهَا وَأَمَّا قَوْلُهُ إِنَّمَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ لِمَنْ كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ رَجْعَةٌ فَلَيْسَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَلَمْ يَرِدْ مِنْ وَجْهٍ يُثْبِتُ مِثْلَهُ وَأَمَّا إِنْكَارُ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ لِكِتْمَانِهَا السَّبَبَ فِي نَقْلِهَا  

[Machine] She was being defiant in her husband's house, so I said, "What happened to the incident of Fatimah bint Qays?" He said, "Here it is." And he described that she became angry and said, "Fatimah was causing trouble among the people with her tongue and she exceeded the limits with her remarks." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered her to stay in the house of the son of Umm Maktoom, and so it was.  

تَعْتَدُّ فِي بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا فَقُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ حَدِيثُ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ قَيْسٍ؟ فَقَالَ هَاهْ وَوَصَفَ أَنَّهُ تَغَيَّظَ وَقَالَ فَتَنَتْ فَاطِمَةُ النَّاسَ كَانَتْ بِلِسَانِهَا ذَرَّابَةً فَاسْتَطَالَتْ عَلَى أَحْمَائِهَا فَأَمَرَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ تَعْتَدَّ فِي بَيْتِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَذَلِكَ  

ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ أَصَبْتَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي أَنَا مَعَكَ  

[Machine] "He heard him say that the expenditure of the divorced woman is not prohibited as long as she is not forbidden, but if she is forbidden, then there is provision according to custom."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ نَفَقَةُ الْمُطَلَّقَةِ مَا لَمْ تُحَرَّمْ فَإِذَا حُرِّمَتْ فَمَتَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ  

[Machine] "He spends on her for the sake of the relationship, so if it is not a marital relationship, then there is no expenditure for her. And Allah knows best."  

أَنَّهُ يُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ أَجْلِ الْحَبَلِ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ غَيْرَ حُبْلَى فَلَا نَفَقَةَ لَهَا وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] Her husband divorced her three times, and the Prophet ﷺ did not permit her to live with him or provide for her. So, I mentioned this to Ibrahim, and Ibrahim said, "Umar ibn Al-Khattab said, 'We do not forsake the book of our Lord and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ based on the words of a woman concerning housing and financial support, which was narrated by Ash-Sha'bi."  

أَنَّ زَوْجَهَا طَلَّقَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَلَمْ يَرَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ السُّكْنَى وَلَا النَّفَقَةَ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ لَا نَدَعُ كِتَابَ رَبِّنَا وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَةٍ لَهَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ حَدِيثُ الشَّعْبِيِّ  

[Machine] "Narrated by Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, as a connected and supported chain of narration."  

عَنْ عُمَرَ ؓ مَوْصُولًا مُسْنَدًا  

[Machine] Allah did not provide her with a dwelling or sustenance, so Aswad took a handful of pebbles and threw it at her, then he said: "Woe to you! Are you talking about something like this?" Umar said: "We will not leave the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ for the statement of a woman, whether she remembered or forgot about her dwelling and sustenance." Allah the Almighty said: "Do not evict them from their houses, nor should they leave, unless they commit open immorality." [Surah Al-Talaq, 1]  

اللهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا سُكْنَى وَلَا نَفَقَةً فَأَخَذَ الْأَسْوَدُ كَفًّا مِنْ حَصًى فَحَصَبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ تُحَدِّثُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا؟ قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ لَا نَتْرُكُ كِتَابَ اللهِ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّنَا ﷺ لِقَوْلِ امْرَأَةٍ لَا نَدْرِي حَفِظَتْ أَوْ نَسِيَتْ لَهَا السُّكْنَى وَالنَّفَقَةُ قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى {لَا تُخْرِجُوهُنَّ مِنْ بُيُوتِهِنَّ وَلَا يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَأْتِينَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ} [الطلاق 1]  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, indeed Abu Sufyan is a stingy man. Is it permissible for me to take something from his wealth?" He replied, "Take what is sufficient for you and your children according to what is appropriate."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ رَجُلٌ شَحِيحٌ فَهَلْ عَلَيَّ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ مَالِهِ شَيْئًا؟ قَالَ خُذِي مَا يَكْفِيكِ وَوَلَدَكِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged giving charity, and a man came and said, "I have a dinar," so he said, "Spend it on yourself." He said, "I have another one," so he said, "Spend it on your child." He said, "I have another one," so he said, "Spend it on your wife." He said, "I have another one," so he said, "Spend it on your servant." He said, "I have another one," so he said, "You are the most knowledgeable of your own affairs."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَثَّ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ قَالَ أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى وَلَدِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى زَوْجَتِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ أَنْفِقْهُ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ أَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ  

A woman came to me along with her two daughters. She asked me for (charity) but she found nothing with me except one date, so I gave her that. She accepted it and then divided it between her two daughters and herself ate nothing out of that. She then got up and went out, and so did her two daughters. (In the meanwhile) Allah's Apostle ﷺ visited me and I narrated to him her story. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ﷺ said: He who is involved (in the responsibility) of (bringing up) daughters, and he accords benevolent treatment towards them, there would be protection for him against Hell-Fire. (Using translation from Muslim 2629)   

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَتْ جَاءَتْنِي امْرَأَةٌ وَمَعَهَا ابْنَتَانِ لَهَا تَسْأَلُنِي فَلَمْ تَجِدْ عِنْدِي شَيْئًا غَيْرَ تَمْرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَأَعْطَيْتُهَا إِيَّاهَا فَأَخَذَتْهَا فَشَقَّتْهَا بَيْنَ ابْنَتَيْهَا وَلَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْهَا شَيْئًا ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَخَرَجَتْ وَابْنَتَيْهَا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ حَدِيثَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ مِنَ الْبَنَاتِ بِشَيْءٍ فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do I have a reward for spending on the family of Abu Salamah even though I am not one of them, in this way and that way, knowing that they are only his family?" He said, "Yes, you have a reward for whatever you spend on them."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ هَلْ لِي أَجْرٌ فِي بَنِي أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَسْتُ بِتَارِكَتِهِمْ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا إِنَّمَا هُمْ بَنِيَّ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَكِ فِيهِمْ أَجْرُ مَا أَنْفَقْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] In His saying, "And upon the heir is a similar obligation." [Quran 2:233] He meant that he should not be harmed.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {وَعَلَى الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ} [البقرة 233] قَالَ أَنْ لَا يُضَارَّ  

[Machine] In His saying, "Mothers should breastfeed their children for two complete years." He meant that divorced mothers should not be harmed, as a mother should not refuse to breastfeed her child if it causes harm to the father or if the child does not want to breastfeed. Likewise, the father should not be harmed if the mother prevents him from breastfeeding the child in order to make her sad. The same applies to the inheritor. He meant the guardian, if they both agree to separate without harming themselves and consult each other, but not to the disadvantage of their child, then there is no blame on them. If you want to breastfeed your children because you fear harm to the child, then there is no blame on you if you fulfill what you have given in a fair manner, meaning in exchange for what the child has been breastfed.  

فِي قَوْلِهِ وَالْوَالِدَاتُ يُرْضِعْنَ أَوْلَادَهُنَّ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْوَالِدَاتِ الْمُطَلَّقَاتِ لَا تُضَارَّ وَالِدَةٌ بِوَلَدِهَا يَقُولُ لَا تَأْبَى أَنْ تُرْضِعَهُ ضِرَارًا يَشُقُّ عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَلَا مَوْلُودٌ لَهُ بِوَلَدِهِ يَقُولُ وَلَا يُضَارَّ الْوَالِدُ بِوَلَدِهِ فَيَمْنَعُ أُمَّهُ أَنْ تُرْضِعَهُ لِيُحْزِنَهَا بِذَلِكَ وَعَلَى الْوَارِثِ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَعْنِي الْوَلِيَّ مَنْ كَانَ فَإِنْ أَرَادَا فِصَالًا عَنْ تَرَاضٍ مِنْهُمَا وَتَشَاوُرٍ غَيْرَ مُسِيئِينَ فِي ظُلْمِ أَنْفُسِهِمَا وَلَا إِلَى صَبِيِّهِمَا دُونَ الْحَوْلَيْنِ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَإِنْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَسْتَرْضِعُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ خِيفَةَ الضَّيْعَةِ عَلَى الصَّبِيِّ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا سَلَّمْتُمْ مَا آتَيْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ يَعْنِي بِحِسَابِ مَا أَرْضَعَ الصَّبِيَّ  

[Machine] That Umar ibn Al-Khattab gave his approval for his nephew's adoption, while he was divorced.  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ جَبَرَ عَمًّا عَلَى رَضَاعِ ابْنِ أَخِيهِ وَهُوَ مُنْقَطِعٌ  

[Machine] "Omar ibn al-Khattab fell in love with three individuals, each of whom would breastfeed the infant to receive compensation. This practice, however, is discontinued, and Allah knows best."  

أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ أَغْرَمَ ثَلَاثَةً كُلُّهُمْ يَرِثُ الصَّبِيَّ أَجْرَ رَضَاعَةٍ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] He said, "We participated in the Battle of Tabuk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and a young man passed by us actively driving his spoils. We said, 'If only this young man and his energy were in the cause of Allah, it would be better for him than this.' Our statement reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so he asked, 'What did you say?' We said, 'This and that.' He said, 'If he strives for the sake of his parents or one of them, he is in the cause of Allah. And if he strives for the well-being of his family, he is in the cause of Allah. And if he strives for his own self, he is in the cause of Allah.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ غَزَوْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ تَبُوكًا فَمَرَّ بِنَا شَابٌّ نَشِيطٌ يَسُوقُ غُنَيْمَةً لَهُ فَقُلْنَا لَوْ كَانَ شَبَابُ هَذَا وَنَشَاطُهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ كَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْهَا فَانْتَهَى قَوْلُنَا حَتَّى بَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا قُلْتُمْ؟ قُلْنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى وَالِدَيْهِ أَوْ أَحَدِهِمَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى عِيَالٍ يَكْفِيهِمْ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ ﷻ  

[Machine] A man passed by them and they marveled at his creation, so they said, "If this is for the sake of Allah, let us go to the Prophet ﷺ." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If he is striving for the sake of his parents, then he is in the way of Allah. And if he is striving for the sake of his young children, then he is in the way of Allah. And if he is striving for the sake of himself to suffice himself, then he is in the way of Allah."  

مَرَّ بِهِمْ رَجُلٌ فَتَعَجَّبُوا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فَقَالُوا لَوْ كَانَ هَذَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى أَبَوَيْهِ شَيْخَيْنِ كَبِيرَيْنِ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى وَلَدٍ صِغَارٍ فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ وَإِنْ كَانَ يَسْعَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لِيُغْنِيَهَا فَهُوَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ  

[Machine] "By Allah, indeed the best of what a person eats is from his own earnings, and his children's sustenance is from his own earnings. It has been narrated about 'Umara bin 'Umair from his mother, from 'Aisha."  

اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنْ أَطْيَبِ مَا أَكَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ كَسْبِهِ وَوَلَدُهُ مِنْ كَسْبِهِ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ
