[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."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ «تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرَ أَهْلُ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» قَالَتْ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رَجُلًا خَفِيفَ ذَاتِ الْيَدِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ سَلْ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُجْزِئُ عَنِّي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ النَّفَقَةُ عَلَى زَوْجِي وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حَجْرِي؟ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَهَابَةُ فَقَالَ «لَا بَلْ سَلِيهِ أَنْتِ» قَالَتْ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْبَابِ وَإِذَا عَلَى الْبَابِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهَا زَيْنَبُ حَاجَتُهَا حَاجَتِي فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا بِلَالٌ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ «سَلْ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتُجْزِئُ عَنَّا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ النَّفَقَةُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِنَا وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حُجُورِنَا؟» قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ بِلَالٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلَى الْبَابِ زَيْنَبُ قَالَ «أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ» قَالَ زَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَزَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ تَسْأَلَانِكَ عَنِ النَّفَقَةِ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمَا وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حُجُورِهِمَا يُجْزِئُ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَهُمَا أَجْرَانِ أَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ وَأَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ»  

"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.' She said: So I went to the Messenger of Allah, and at his door I found a woman from among the Ansar who was also called Zainab, and she was asking about the same matter as I was. Bilal came out to us and we said to him: Go to the Messenger of Allah and ask him about that, but do not tell him who we are. He went to the Messenger of Allah and he said:' Who are they?' He said: Zainab.' He said: 'Which Zainab?" He said: 'Zainab Al-Ansariyyah.' Abdullah and Zainab Al-Ansariyyah.' He said: 'Yes, they will have two rewards, the reward for upholding the ties of kinship and the reward dfor giving charity."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2583)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِلنِّسَاءِ «تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ» قَالَتْ وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ خَفِيفَ ذَاتِ الْيَدِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ «أَيَسَعُنِي أَنْ أَضَعَ صَدَقَتِي فِيكَ وَفِي بَنِي أَخٍ لِي أَيْتَامٍ؟» فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ سَلِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَإِذَا عَلَى بَابِهِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهَا زَيْنَبُ تَسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا بِلَالٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلْهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَلَا تُخْبِرْهُ مَنْ نَحْنُ فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَنْ هُمَا؟ قَالَ زَيْنَبُ قَالَ «أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ؟» قَالَ زَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَزَيْنَبُ الْأَنْصَارِيَّةُ قَالَ «نَعَمْ لَهَا أَجْرَانِ أَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ وَأَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ»  

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." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1466)   

كُنْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَآنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ» فَكَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تُنْفِقُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حَجْرِهَا فَقَالَتْ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ «أَيُجْزِئُ عَنِّي أَنْ أَنْفَقَ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أَيْتَامٍ فِي حَجْرِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ؟» قَالَ سَلِي أَنْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَوَجَدْتُ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى بَابِهِ حَاجَتُهَا مِثْلُ حَاجَتِي فَمَرَّ عَلَيْنَا بِلَالٌ فَقُلْنَا «سَلْ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُجْزِئُ عَنِّي أَنْ أُنْفِقَ عَلَى زَوْجِي وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حَجْرِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ؟ فَدَخَلَ فَسَأَلَهُ» فَقَالَ «مَنْ هُمَا؟» قَالَ زَيْنَبُ قَالَ «أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ؟» قَالَ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ «نَعَمْ يَكُونُ لَهَا أَجْرَانِ أَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ وَأَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ»  

[Machine] A woman from Abdullah's household and a woman from Abu Mas'ud's household went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, each keeping her own matter secret. They came to the room and said to Bilal, "Tell the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that two women have come, one of them has wealth and has orphans under her care in her room, and the other has wealth and a weak husband with paralyzed hands." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Both of them have guardians."  

انْطَلَقَتِ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ وَامْرَأَةُ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ تَكْتُمْ صَاحِبَتَهَا أَمْرَهَا فَأَتَتَا الْحُجْرَةَ فَقَالَتَا لِبِلَالٍ ايتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلِ «امْرَأَتَانِ لِإِحْدَاهُمَا فَضْلُ مَالٍ وَفِي حَجْرِهَا بَنُو أَخٍ لَهَا أَيْتَامٌ» فَقَالَتِ الْأُخْرَى إِنَّ لِي فَضْلَ مَالٍ وَلِي زَوْجٌ خَفِيفُ ذَاتِ الْيَدِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَهُمَا كِفْلَانِ»
