Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 21040 — Sayyidah Ra'itah, the sister of Abdullah

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ثنا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الْمِنْهَالِ، ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ، أَنَّ رَائِطَةَ، أُخْتَ عَبْدِ اللهِ الثَّقَفِيَّةَ كَانَتْ تَحْتَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَةً صَنَاعًا تَصْنَعُ فَتَبِيعُ مِنْ صَنْعَتِهَا، فَقَالَتْ لِابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ: إِنَّكَ قَدْ شَغَلْتَنِي أَنْتَ وَوَلَدُكَ عَنِ النَّفَقَةِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَمَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُنْفِقَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ، فَقَالَ: مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَفْعَلِي إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَجْرٌ، فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «أَنْفِقِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِنَّ لَكِ أَجْرَ مَا أَنْفَقْتِ عَلَيْهِمْ»
It is narrated from Ubaydullah bin Abdullah al-Thaqafi (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyidah Ra'itah (may Allah be pleased with her), the sister of Abdullah al-Thaqafi, was married to Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). She was a skilled craftswoman who would make things and sell some of her handiwork. She said to Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): "You and your children keep me from spending in the way of Allah, so I am not able to spend in the way of Allah." He said: "If there is no reward for you in it, I would not like you to do it." (She said:) So I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Spend on them, for you have the very reward of what you have spent on them."
