It is narrated from Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) that the wife of Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the issue of giving charity to relatives. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Giving charity to relatives earns double the reward compared to giving charity to non-relatives."

Ibrahim (Nakhai, may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: The wife of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have jewelry and my orphan nephews are under my care, so can I spend the zakat of my jewelry on them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes."

Ibrahim (Nakhai, may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: The wife of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: The nephews of mine or of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with her) are under my care; can I spend my zakat on them from my wealth? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes."

Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: The wife of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: The nephews of Abdullah are under my care. If I spend charity from my wealth on them, will that suffice for me? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes."

The wife of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon to us and encouraged us to give charity. He said:“O group of women, give charity, even if it is from your jewelry, for on the Day of Resurrection, the majority of the inhabitants of Hell will be from among you.”She narrated: Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) had little wealth, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was a person of awe-inspiring presence. I said to Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about giving charity to our husbands and to the orphan children under our care. He said: No, rather you yourself ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So I went to the door and saw a woman from the Ansar there; she had the same issue as I did. Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us, so we said to him: Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for us whether giving charity to our husbands and to the orphan children under our care will suffice for us. Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) went inside, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Who is at the door?”He replied: Zainab, the wife of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), and another woman; they are asking you about an issue: Will giving charity to their husbands and to the orphan children under their care suffice for them? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“For both of them, there is a double reward for giving charity and for maintaining kinship ties.”
