It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan, or Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with them), passed by a wrapper (mirt) and found it too expensive. Then that same wrapper was brought past Sayyiduna Amr bin Umayyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he bought it and clothed his wife, Sayyidah Sukhaylah bint Ubaydah bin al-Harith bin al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with her), with it. After that Sayyiduna Uthman, or Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman (may Allah be pleased with them), passed by him and asked: "What happened to the wrapper you bought?" Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "I gave it in charity to (my wife) Sukhaylah bint Ubaydah." At this he said: "Indeed, whatever good you do for your family is charity." Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say exactly this." So when what Sayyiduna Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) had said was mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "Amr has spoken the truth. Whatever (kindness) you do for your family is charity from you to them."
