Mukhtasar Muslim (Abridged) 1767 — Reward for one who provides

`Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that` he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever earns and works for widows or for the poor, for him is a rank like that of one who fights in the way of Allah, and I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: like the one who stands for prayer and does not tire, and like the fasting person who does not break his fast.
