Zainab, the wife of ʿAbdullah said, "I was in the Mosque and saw the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'O women ! Give alms even from your ornaments.' " Zainab used to provide for ʿAbdullah and those orphans who were under her protection. So she said to ʿAbdullah, "Will you ask Messenger of Allah ﷺ whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakat on you and the orphans who are under my protection?" He replied "Will you yourself ask Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" (Zainab added): So I went to the Prophet and I saw there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet ﷺ ) with a similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet ﷺ whether it is permissible for me to spend (the Zakat) on my husband and the orphans under my protection.' And we requested Bilal not to inform the Prophet ﷺ about us. So Bilal went inside and asked the Prophet ﷺ regarding our problem. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who are those two?" Bilal replied that she was Zainab. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Which Zainab?" Bilal said, "The wife of ʿAbdullah (bin Masʿud)." The Prophet said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double rewards (for that): One for helping relatives, and the other for giving Zakat."  

عَنْ زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ؓ قَالَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ لإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَحَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِمِثْلِهِ سَوَاءً قَالَتْ كُنْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ وَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تُنْفِقُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حَجْرِهَا قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ سَلْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيَجْزِي عَنِّي أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَيْتَامِي فِي حَجْرِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ سَلِي أَنْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ عَلَى الْبَابِ حَاجَتُهَا مِثْلُ حَاجَتِي فَمَرَّ عَلَيْنَا بِلاَلٌ فَقُلْنَا سَلِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَيَجْزِي عَنِّي أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَى زَوْجِي وَأَيْتَامٍ لِي فِي حَجْرِي وَقُلْنَا لاَ تُخْبِرْ بِنَا فَدَخَلَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ هُمَا قَالَ زَيْنَبُ قَالَ أَىُّ الزَّيَانِبِ قَالَ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَهَا أَجْرَانِ أَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ وَأَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ  

0 women, give sadaqa even though it be some of your jewellery. She returned to 'Abdullah and said: You are a person with empty hands, whereas the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has commanded us to give sadaqa, so better go to him and ask and if this will suffice for me; otherwise I shall give it to someone else. 'Abdullah said to me (his wife): You better go yourself. So I went and there was another woman of the Ansar at the door of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ having the same porpose as I had. Now Messenger of Allah ﷺ was invested with awe (so we did not like to knock). Then Bilal came out and we said to him: Go to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and inform him that there are two women at the door asking him whether it will serve them to give sadaqa to their spouses and to orphans who are under their charge, but do not inform him who we are. Bilal went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked him (what these women had instructed him to ask). The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked him who these women were. He (Bilal) said: They are women from Ansar and Zainab. Upon this the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Which of the Zainabs? He said: The wife of 'Abdullah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: There are two rewards for them, the reward of kinship and the reward of Sadaqa.

"The Messenger of Allah said to women: 'Give charity, even from women: 'Give charity, even from your jewelry. 'Abdullah was not a wealthy man and she said to him: 'Can I spend my charity on you and on my brother's children who are orphans? 'Abdullah said: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah about that.'

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ delivered a sermon and said, "O women, give in charity even if it is from your adornments, for you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Resurrection." Abdullah, a man with a thin hand, came to me and I said to him, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if the charity I spend on my husband and orphans in my possession will be sufficient for me." He said, "The Prophet ﷺ has been receiving great respect, so go and ask him yourself." So I went and found him with a woman from the Ansar named Zainab. I presented my request to him, and he sent Bilal to us. We said to him, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if the charity we spend on our husbands and orphans in our possession will be sufficient for us." So Bilal entered and found Zainab at the door, and he asked which Zainab it was. She replied, "I am the wife of Abdullah and she is another wife of a man from the Ansar. We both ask you about the charity we spend on our husbands and orphans in our possession. Will that be sufficient for us?" Bilal then came out and said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ says they will receive double rewards, the reward of kinship and the reward of charity."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us women saying, "O assembly of women, be charitable, even if it is from your adornments, for you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hell on the Day of Resurrection." There was a man named Abdullah who had a slight hand deformity. She said, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whether I can give charity, from my spending, to my husband and orphans in my care." She said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was respected, so he said, 'No, rather ask him.'" She said, "So I went out, and when I reached the door, I saw a woman from the Ansar whose need was the same as mine. Her name was Zainab." She said, "So Bilal came out to us, and I said to him, 'Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ whether we can give charity from our spending to our husbands and orphans in our care.' She said, "So Bilal entered and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, at the door is Zainab.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Which Zainab?' Zainab, the wife of Abdullah, and Zainab, the woman from the Ansar, are asking about giving charity from their spending to their husbands and orphans in their care. Can they do that as charity?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Yes, for both of them there are two rewards: the reward of kinship and the reward of charity.'"

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give charity even from your ornaments." So Zainab said to Abdullah, "Does it count for me to make my charity for you and for the orphans of my brother?" Abdullah had a small income, so he said, "Ask the Prophet ﷺ about it." So Zainab went to the Prophet ﷺ and encountered a woman from the Ansar. Zainab asked her, "She came to ask what I came to ask about." Bilal then came out to us, so we said to him, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and do not inform him of who we are. Does it count for me to make my charity for my husband and for the orphans of my brother?" Bilal then went to the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned it to him. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Which Zainab is this?" He said, "The wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud and a woman from the Ansar." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Tell her that she will have two rewards: the reward of charity and the reward of maintaining family ties."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ» فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ أَيُجْزِئُ عَنِّي أَنْ أَجْعَلَ صَدَقَتِي فِيكَ وَفِي بَنِي أَخِي أَيْتَامٍ؟ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ خَفِيفُ ذَاتِ الْيَدِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ سَلِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ لَهَا زَيْنَبُ جَاءَتْ لِتَسْأَلَ عَمَّا جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا بِلَالٌ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ سَلْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَا تُخْبِرْهُ مَنْ نَحْنُ أَيُجْزِئُ عَنِّي أَنْ أَجْعَلَ صَدَقَتِي فِي زَوْجِي وَبَنِي أَخِي أَيْتَامٍ؟ فَأَتَى بِلَالٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ قَالَ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَامْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَخْبِرْهَا أَنَّ لَهَا أَجْرَانِ أَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ وَأَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us, the women, and said, "Give charity, even if it is from your adornments, for indeed, you are the majority of the inhabitants of Hellfire on the Day of Judgment." Abdullah was a man with limited means, so I asked him, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if I can use my obligatory charity for the maintenance of my husband and orphans under my care." She mentioned that the Prophet ﷺ had a certain dignity, so he said, "No, but ask him yourself." So, I went and reached the door, and there was a woman from the Ansar named Zainab. She said, "Her need is my need." Bilal came out to us, and we said to him, "Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ if we can use our obligatory charity for the maintenance of our husbands and orphans under our care." Zainab on the door said to Bilal, "Which Zainab?" He replied, "Zainab, the wife of Abdullah," and "Zainab, a woman from the Ansar," who are both asking you about using their obligatory charity for the maintenance of their husbands and orphans under their care. The Prophet ﷺ said, "They will have two rewards, the reward of kinship and the reward of charity."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded us to give charity. He said, "O women, give in charity even if it is from your jewelry." I used to support Abdullah bin Mas'ud and the orphans in his household. Abdullah had small hands and I said to him, "Go to the Prophet ﷺ and ask him if the charity that I give can be considered as fulfilling my obligation or if it will be counted separately for you." Abdullah replied, "No, you go and ask him yourself." So, I went to him and sat down. I found a woman at the door who also had a request. She had been treated with respect by the Prophet ﷺ. I told her, "Come out with Bilal and ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ without revealing who we are." Bilal came out and we told him to ask the Prophet ﷺ if the charity given by two women who support their husbands and the orphans in their households would be considered sufficient for them. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who are they?" Bilal replied, "Zainab and a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Which Zainab?" Bilal replied, "The wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud and a woman from the Ansar." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, they will receive two rewards: the reward for kinship and the reward for charity."
