It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hakeem bin Hizam (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Which charity is the best?" He replied: "The charity given to a relative who harbors enmity and hatred."

Sayyiduna Salman bin Amir Ad-Dabbi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Giving charity to a poor person is (simply) charity, but giving charity to a relative is both charity and maintaining the ties of kinship."

Sayyiduna Salman bin Amir Dabi, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated in a marfu’ manner: Giving charity to a poor person is (simply) charity, and giving charity to a relative is two things: charity and maintaining the ties (of kinship).
