Urwah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: The wife of Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) was skilled; she used to make things and then sell them. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) and his children did not have wealth. His wife said to him: "You have distracted me from giving charity." So Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "If there is no reward for you in (spending) on us, then I do not like that you do this." So she went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole incident to him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will have a reward for whatever you spend on them, so spend on them."
