Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas transmitted that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said to him, "You do not spend anything by which
you desire the face of Allah Almighty but that you art rewarded for it,
even what you place in your wife's mouth."
Narrated Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "There are four dinars:
a dinar which you give to
a poor person, a dinar you give to free a slave, a dinar you spend in the
Way of Allah, and a dinar which you spend on your family. The best of them
is the dinar which you spend on your family."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Our Lord, the Blessed and Exalted, descends
to the lowest heaven every night when a third of the night remains. He
says, 'Who is calling on Me so that I can answer him? Who is asking Me
for something so that I can give to him? "Who is asking Me for forgiveness
so that I can forgive him?'"
Jabir said, "A man said, 'Messenger of Allah, I have a dinar.'
He said, 'Spend it on yourself.' The man said, 'I have another.' He said,
'Spend it on your servant (or he said, 'on your child').' The man said,
'I have another.' He said, 'Use it in the Way of Allah, but that is the
least form of sadaqa.'"
