Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The most virtuous dinar is that which a man spends on his family, and that dinar which a man spends on his animal in the path of Allah. Abu Qilabah, clarifying from his side, said: Just as he spends while doing good to his family, and Abu Qilabah also said: Who can have a greater reward than the man who spends on his small children, and Allah Almighty, through this, saves those children from having to ask (beg).
