Hadith 5002
وَعَن سراقَة بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ الصَّدَقَةِ؟ ابْنَتُكَ مَرْدُودَةً إِلَيْكَ لَيْسَ لَهَا كَاسِبٌ غَيْرُكَ» . رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ
It is narrated from Suraqah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Shall I not tell you about the best charity?" It is to give charity to your daughter who returns to you (due to divorce or similar reasons) and has no one else to earn for her except you." Its chain is weak, narrated by Ibn Majah.
