Aishah reported The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying When a woman gives (some of the property) from her husband’s house, not wasting it, she will have her reward for what she has spent, and her husband will have his for what he earned. The said applies to a trustee. In no respect does the one diminish the reward of the other.

Saad said When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ took the oath of allegiance from woman, a woman of high rank, who seemed to be one of the women of Mudar, rose and said Prophet of Allah ﷺ, we are dependant on our parents, our sons. (Abu Dawud said I think (this version) has the word “ and our husbands”. ) So what part of their property can be spent lawfully? He said Fresh food which you eat and give as a present. Abu Dawud said The Arabic word ratb means bread, vegetables and fresh dates. Abu Dawud said Al-Thawri transmitted from Yunus in a similar manner.

Abu Hurairah reported The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying When a woman gives something her husband has earned without being commanded by him to do so, she has half his reward.

Ata said Abu Hurairah was asked Whether a woman could give sadaqah from the house (property) of her husband. He replied `No’. She can give it from her maintenance. The reward will be divided between them. It is not lawful for her to give sadaqah from her husband’s property without his permission. Abu Dawud said This version weakens the version narrated by Hammam (bin Munabbih).

Anas said When the verse “You will never attain righteousness until you give freely of what you love" came down, Abu Talhah said Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I think our Lord asks us for our property. I call you as witness that I dedicate my land at Ariha ‘to Him’. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him Divide it among your nearest relatives. So he divided it among Hassan bin Thabit and Ubayy bin Kaab. Abu Dawud said I have been gold by an Ansari Muhammad bin Abdallah that the name of Abu Talhah is Zaid bin Sahal bin al-Aswad bin Haram bin ‘Amar bin Zaid bin Manat bin Adi bin Amr bin Malik bin al-Najjar; and Hassan bin Tabit is son of al-Mundhir in al-Haram. Thus both of them (Abu Talhah and Hassan) have their common link in Haram who is the third great grandfather. Ubbay bin Kaab is son of Qais bin ‘Atik bin Zaid bin Muawiyah bin Amr bin Malik bin al-Najjar. Thus the common tie between Hassan, Abu Talhah and Ubbay is Amr (bin Malik). The Ansari said between Ubbay and Abi Talhah there are six great grandfathers.

Maimunah, wife of the Probhet ﷺ said: I had a slave girl and I set her free. When the Prophet ﷺ entered upon me, I informed him (of this). He said: May Allah give reward for it; if you had given her to your maternal uncles, it would have increased your reward

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ commanded to give sadaqah. A man said: Messenger of Allah, I have a dinar. He said: Spend it on yourself. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your children. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your wife. He again said: I have another. He said: Spend it on your servant. He finally said: I have another. He replied: You know best (what to do with it).

Abdullah bin Amr reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: It is sufficient sin for a man that he neglects him whom he maintains.

Anas reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Anyone who is pleased that his sustenance is expanded and his age extended should do kindness to his near relatives.

Narrated Abdur Rahman ibn Awf: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah the Exalted has said: I am Compassionate, and this has been derived from mercy. I have derived its name from My name. If anyone joins it, I shall join him, and if anyone cuts it off, I shall cut him off.
