أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "فُكُّوا الْعَانِيَ وَأَطْعِمُوا الْجَائِعَ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Free the captive, feed the hungry."

Similarly, feeding the hungry is an act that has been praised in many Qur’anic verses () and Prophetic traditions (ahadith nabawiyyah), and visiting the sick (iyadat al-marid) is a Sunnah among the rights of Muslims.
