English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us: al-A'mash narrated to us, from Shaqiq, from 'Amr ibn al-Harith ibn al-Mustaliq, from the nephew of Zaynab, wife of 'Abdullah, from Zaynab, she said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, addressed us and said: O assembly of women, give charity even if from your jewelry, for you are the majority of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection. She said: 'Abdullah was a man of limited means, so I said to him: Ask the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on my behalf whether it suffices me as charity to spend on my husband and orphans in my care. She said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, had been invested with such awe that he said: You go and ask him yourself. She said: So I went and reached his door, and there was a woman of the Ansar named Zaynab at the door, having the same need as mine. She said: Bilal came out to us, so we said to him: Ask the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on our behalf whether it suffices us as charity to spend on our husbands and orphans in our care. She said: So Bilal went in to him and said: At the door is Zaynab. He said: Which of the Zaynabs? He said: Zaynab, wife of 'Abdullah, and Zaynab, a woman of the Ansar, asking you about spending on their husbands and orphans in their care - does that suffice them as charity? She said: So he came out to us and said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to them: They will have two rewards - the reward of kinship and the reward of charity.
