1969. Ṣaḥwān bin Sulaim narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The one who looks after a widow and a poor person is like the Mujāhid in the cause of Allāh, or like the one who fasts all the day and stands (in prayer) all the night." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
(Another chain) from Abū Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ, and it is similar to that.
This [Ḥadīth] is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Gharīb. Abū Al-Ghaith's name is Sālim the freed slave of 'Abdullāh bin Muṭi'. Thawr bin Yazīd is from Ash-Shām, and Thawr bin Zaid is from Al-Madinah.

Commentary
The word 'Armalah' used in the Hadīth means a weak and needy person or a widow. 'Miskīn', likewise, means an indigent or poverty-stricken person. Feeding such hard-pressed people is like constantly remaining in a state of worship.
