Hadith 7256
عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ جَابِرٍ قَالَ ابْنُ مَوْلَى لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُقِيمَ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ هَاهُنَا بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ تَرَكْتَ لِأَهْلِكَ مَا يَقُوتُهُمْ هَذَا الشَّهْرَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَارْجِعْ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ فَاتْرُكْ لَهُمْ مَا يَقُوتُهُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ إِثْمًا أَنْ يُضَيِّعَ مَنْ يَقُوتُ
Wahb bin Jabir narrates that the son of a slave of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with them) said to him: I intend to spend this month of Ramadan here in Bayt al-Maqdis. He said: Have you left provisions for your wife and children for this blessed month? He replied: No. He said: Then return to your family and arrange for their provisions, because I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that it is sufficient sin for a man that he neglects those whose provision is his responsibility.
Hadith 7257
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ دِينَارٌ أَنْفَقْتَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَدِينَارٌ فِي الْمَسَاكِينِ وَدِينَارٌ فِي رَقَبَةٍ وَدِينَارٌ فِي أَهْلِكَ أَعْظَمُهَا أَجْرًا الدِّينَارُ الَّذِي أَنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: One dinar which you spend in the way of Allah, one dinar which you spend on the needy, one dinar which you spend to free a slave, and one dinar which you spend on your family—of all these, the greatest in reward is the dinar which you spend on your family.
Hadith 7258
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَصَدَّقُوا قَالَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ آخَرُ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى زَوْجِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي دِينَارٌ آخَرُ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى وَلَدِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَى خَادِمِكَ قَالَ عِنْدِي آخَرُ قَالَ أَنْتَ أَبْصَرُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give charity. A man said: I have one dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on yourself. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your wife. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your children. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Spend it on your servant. He said: I have another dinar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then decide yourself, in the light of your own insight (as to who is more deserving).

عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حَيْدَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ مَا حَقُّ الْمَرْأَةِ عَلَى الزَّوْجِ قَالَ تُطْعِمُهَا إِذَا طَعِمْتَ وَتَكْسُوهَا إِذَا اكْتَسَيْتَ وَلَا تَضْرِبِ الْوَجْهَ وَلَا تُقَبِّحْ وَلَا تَهْجُرْ إِلَّا فِي الْبَيْتِ
Narrated by Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Haydah (may Allah be pleased with him): A man asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "What right does a wife have over her husband?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: "When you eat, feed her as well; when you clothe yourself, clothe her as well. Do not strike her on the face, do not speak to her in a repulsive manner, and (in case of displeasure) do not leave her except within the house."
Hadith 7260
عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهُ مَهْمَا أَنْفَقْتَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ مِنْ نَفَقَةٍ فَإِنَّكَ تُؤْجَرُ فِيهَا حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةِ تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِكَ
Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Whatever you spend on your wife (seeking the pleasure of Allah), you will be rewarded for it, even the morsel that you put in your wife's mouth.
