Wahb bin Jabir narrates that the son of a slave of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with them) said to him: I intend to spend this month of Ramadan here in Bayt al-Maqdis. He said: Have you left provisions for your wife and children for this blessed month? He replied: No. He said: Then return to your family and arrange for their provisions, because I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that it is sufficient sin for a man that he neglects those whose provision is his responsibility.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: One dinar which you spend in the way of Allah, one dinar which you spend on the needy, one dinar which you spend to free a slave, and one dinar which you spend on your family—of all these, the greatest in reward is the dinar which you spend on your family.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give charity. A man said: I have one dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on yourself. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your wife. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your children. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your servant. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then decide yourself, in the light of your own insight (as to who is more deserving).

Narrated by Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Haydah (may Allah be pleased with him): A man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "What right does a wife have over her husband?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "When you eat, feed her as well; when you clothe yourself, clothe her as well. Do not strike her on the face, do not speak to her in a repulsive manner, and (in case of displeasure) do not leave her except within the house."

Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Whatever you spend on your wife (seeking the pleasure of Allah), you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel that you put in your wife's mouth.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: When a Muslim spends on his wife with the intention of reward, it becomes charity for him.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Lady Hind (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Of all the tents on the face of the earth, there was no tent more disliked by me than yours; that is, among all the people of the tents, it was your household whom I most wished to see humiliated, that Allah would disgrace them. But today, there are no people of any tent on the face of the earth whom I wish Allah to honor more than your household; that is, now I wish to see your household honored. In response, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, this was the same feeling from both sides. By the One in Whose hand is my soul! Then Hind said: O Messenger of Allah! Abu Sufyan is a miserly man; he does not give enough expenses for the children. Is there any harm if I, without his permission, take some of his wealth and spend it on the children’s maintenance? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you take it in a good manner for spending, then there is no harm in it.

(Narration through another chain) It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Hind bint Utbah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! My husband Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) is a miserly man, he does not give me enough expenses that would suffice for me and my children, and I manage by taking some of his wealth without informing him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may take, in a good manner, what is sufficient for you and your children.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a woman spends on someone from her husband's house or feeds someone, but does not intend corruption or extravagance, then the reward that the woman will receive, the same reward will be given to her husband, because he earned it, and the woman will receive reward because she spent it. In this way, the treasurer will also receive reward, and no one's reward will be diminished because of another.

Lady Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a woman came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have a co-wife, is there anything wrong if I pretend to have received from my husband more than what he has actually given me? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who pretends to have been given what he was not given is like one who wears two garments of falsehood.
