It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), that she said: I had a slave girl whom I set free. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and I told him (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah reward you for it; but had you given that slave girl to your maternal relatives (your maternal uncles and others), it would have been greater in terms of your reward." This hadith is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered charity, and a man said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have a dinar." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend it on yourself." He said: "I have another." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend it on your child." He said: "I have another." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend it on your wife." He said: "I have another." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend it on your servant." He said: "I have another." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You know best yourself (where to spend it)." This hadith is sahih on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
