Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "The one who strives for helpless women and the poor is like the one who fights in the way of Allah, and like the person who fasts continuously during the day and stands (in prayer) at night."
