The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The orphans of Badr have precedence over you. But I shall tell you of something that is better for you than that. Say Allāhu Akbar following every prayer thirty-three times, and say Subhān-Allāh (Glorious is Allāh) thirty three times, and say Al-Ĥamdu Lillāh (All praise is due to Allāh) thirty three times, and say Lā ilāha ill-Allāh waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, laḥul-mulk wa laḥul-ḥamd wa huwa 'alā kulli shai'in qadīr (None has the right to be worshiped but Allāh, alone with no partner; to Him is the dominion and praise, and He is

Commentary
In the matter of providing financial assistance, the Prophet ﷺ gave priority to the needy people and especially to the families of martyrs in the cause of Allāh. As for his own kinsmen, he liked them to lead a frugal life and be content with the little that they had, and to remember Allāh often and express their gratitude to Him.
