It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma’di Karib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever you feed yourself, it will be charity for you; whatever you feed your children, that too will be charity on your behalf; whatever you feed your wife, that too will be your charity; and whatever you feed your servant, that too will be charity on your behalf.
