Majma al-Zawaid 13490 — Children, relatives and the virtue of spending

عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَخْزُومِيِّ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَتْ : يَا بُنَيَّ ، أَلَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ؟ قُلْتُ : بَلَى يَا أُمَّهْ قَالَتْ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : " مَنْ أَنْفَقَ عَلَى ابْنَتَيْنِ أَوْ أُخْتَيْنِ أَوْ ذَوَاتَيْ قَرَابَةٍ يَحْتَسِبُ النَّفَقَةَ عَلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى يُغْنِيَهُمَا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ يَكْفِيَهُمَا ، كَانَتَا سِتْرًا لَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ الْمَدَنِيُّ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Al-Muttalib bin Abdullah al-Makhzumi relates: I went to Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the honoured wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and she said: "O my son! Shall I not tell you a hadith that I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" I said: "Yes indeed, O mother!" She said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever spends on two daughters, or two sisters, or two female relatives, hoping for reward for spending on them, and keeps spending until, by the grace of Allah Almighty, the two of them (girls) become self-sufficient or are provided for, the two of them will become a barrier shielding that person from Hell.'"
Imam Ahmad and Imam Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Muhammad bin Humayd al-Madani, and he is da'if (weak).
