" السَّاعِى على الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالمُجَاهِدِ في سَبِيل اللهِ، أَو القائِم اللَّيلَ، الصَّائِم النَّهَارَ".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Nasāʾī, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīThe 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."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوِ الْقَائِمِ اللَّيْلَ الصَّائِمِ النَّهَارَ
Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The one who looks after and works for a widow and for a poor person is like a warrior fighting for Allah's Cause." (The narrator Al-Qa'nabi is not sure whether he also said "Like the one who prays all the night without slackness and fasts continuously and never breaks his fast.")
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ يَشُكُّ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ كَالْقَائِمِ لاَ يَفْتُرُ وَكَالصَّائِمِ لاَ يُفْطِرُ
that Messenger of Allah ( ﷺ) said: One who makes efforts (for earning to be spent) on a widow and the destitute is like a striver in the cause of Allah, and I think he also said: He is like one who constantly stands for prayer and observes fast without breaking it.
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ۔» وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ: «وَكَالْقَائِمِ لاَ يَفْتُرُ وَكَالصَّائِمِ لاَ يُفْطِرُ۔»
"The Messenger of Allah said: "The one who strives to sponsor a widow or a poor person is like the one who strives in Jihad in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime."'
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ
'The one who strives to support the widow and the poor is like a Mujahid who fights in the cause of Allah, and like one who stands in the night (in voluntary prayer) and fasts by day."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَكَالَّذِي يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَيَصُومُ النَّهَارَ
'The one who strives to support the widow and the poor is like a Mujahid who fights in the cause of Allah, and like one who stands in the night (in voluntary prayer) and fasts by day." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2140)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ السَّاعِي عَلَى الْأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ أَوْ كَالَّذِي يَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ وَيَصُومُ النَّهَارَ
"The Messenger of Allah said: "The one who strives to sponsor a widow or a poor person is like the one who strives in Jihad in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2577)

"أنَا وَكَافلُ اليَتيم لَهُ أوْ لغَيْرِه فِى الجَنَّة، والسَّاعى عَلَى الأَرْمَلَة وَالمِسكينِ كَالمُجَاهد فِى سَبِيل اللَّه ﷻ" .
