[2318] 45 - (1000) It was narrated that Zainab, the wife of 'Abdullâh, said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'O women, give in charity, even if it is some of your jewelry.' So I went back to 'Abdullâh and I said: 'You are a man of little wealth and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has commanded us to give charity. Go to him and ask him if it will be sufficient for me (to give it to you), otherwise I will give it to someone else.' 'Abdullâh said to me: 'No, you go.' So I went, and there was a woman from among the Anshâr at the door of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ who had come to ask the same thing. We felt too shy to speak to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. Then Bilâl came out and we said to him: 'Go to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and tell him that there are two women at the door who want to ask him: Will it be sufficient for them to give charity to their husbands and to the orphans who are under their care? But do not tell him who we are.' Bilâl went in to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and asked him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Who are they?' He said: 'An Anṣārī woman and Zainab.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Which Zainab?' He said: 'The wife of 'Abdullâh.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: 'They will have two rewards: The reward for upholding ties of kinship and the reward for giving charity.'"

45 - (1000) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ، امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تَصَدَّقْنَ، يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ، وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ» قَالَتْ: فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ خَفِيفُ ذَاتِ الْيَدِ، وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أَمَرَنَا بِالصَّدَقَةِ، فَأْتِهِ فَاسْأَلْهُ، فَإِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَجْزِي عَنِّي وَإِلَّا صَرَفْتُهَا إِلَى غَيْرِكُمْ، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ لِي عَبْدُ اللهِ: بَلِ ائْتِيهِ أَنْتِ، قَالَتْ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ، فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بِبَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَاجَتِي حَاجَتُهَا، قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَهَابَةُ، قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا بِلَالٌ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: ائْتِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّ امْرَأَتَيْنِ بِالْبَابِ تَسْأَلَانِكَ: أَتُجْزِئُ الصَّدَقَةُ عَنْهُمَا، عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمَا، وَعَلَى أَيْتَامٍ فِي حُجُورِهِمَا؟ وَلَا تُخْبِرْهُ مَنْ نَحْنُ، قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَ بِلَالٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ هُمَا؟» فَقَالَ: امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَزَيْنَبُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ؟» قَالَ: امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَهُمَا أَجْرَانِ: أَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ، وَأَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ "
