أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي شَقِيقٌ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَذَكَرَتْهُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فَحَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بِمِثْلِهِ سَوَاءً قَالَتْ
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»

✧ I was in the mosque, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw me and said: 'Give charity even from your jewelry.' Zainab used to spend on Abdullah and orphans in her care, so she said to Abdullah: 'Does it suffice me to spend on you and on orphans in my care as charity?' He said: 'You ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ yourself.' So I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and found a woman from the Ansar at his door whose need was like my need. Bilal passed by us, and we said: 'Ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for us: Does it suffice me to spend on my husband and orphans in my care as charity?' He entered and asked him, and he said: 'Who are they?' He said: 'Zainab.' He said: 'Which Zainab?' He said: 'The wife of Abdullah.' He said: 'Yes, she will have two rewards: the reward of kinship and the reward of charity.'
