1466. Narrated 'Amr bin Al-Hārith : Zainab, the wife of 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd) رضي الله عنهما 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 'Abdullāh and those orphans who were under her protection. So she said to 'Abdullāh, "Will you ask Allāh's Messenger ﷺ whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakāt on you and the orphans who are under my protection?" He said : , "You yourself ask Allāh's Messenger ﷺ (about it)." (Zainab added) : So, I went to the Prophet ﷺ and I saw there an Anṣārī woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet ﷺ) with a similar problem as mine. Bilāl passed by us and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet ﷺ whether it is permissible for me to spend in charity on my husband and the orphans under my protection.' And we requested Bilāl not to inform the Prophet ﷺ about us. So Bilāl went inside and asked the Prophet ﷺ regarding our problem. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Who are those two?" Bilāl replied that she was Zainab. The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Which Zainab?" Bilāl said, "The wife of 'Abdullāh (bin Mas'ūd)." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double reward (for that): One for helping relatives, and the other for giving Aṣ-Ṣadaqa (charity etc.)."
