(1878) bukhari:5353Yaḥyá b. Qazaʿah > Mālik > Thawr b. Zayd > Abū al-Ghayth > Abū Hurayrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The one who looks after a widow or a poor person is like a Mujahid (warrior) who fights for Allah's Cause, or like him who performs prayers all the night and fasts all the day."  

(١٨٧٨) البخاري:٥٣٥٣حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْغَيْثِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوِ الْقَائِمِ اللَّيْلَ الصَّائِمِ النَّهَارَ
