بَابُ فَضْلِ مَنْ عَالَ ابْنَتَهُ الْمَرْدُودَةَChapter: Virtue of Caring for a Returned Daughter
Hadith 82
حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، عَنْ بَحِيرٍ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنِ الْمِقْدَامِ بْنِ مَعْدِي كَرِبَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”مَا أَطْعَمْتَ نَفْسَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ وَلَدَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ زَوْجَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ، وَمَا أَطْعَمْتَ خَادِمَكَ فَهُوَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdam bin Ma'dikarib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Whatever you eat yourself is charity for you, and whatever you feed your children is charity for you, whatever you feed your wife is charity for you, and whatever you feed your servant is also charity for you."
