2583 - Bishr ibn Khalid informed us, saying: Ghandar narrated to us, from Shu'bah, from Sulayman, from Abu Wa'il, from 'Amr ibn al-Harith, from Zaynab, the wife of 'Abdullah, who said:

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the women: "Give in charity, even from your jewelry." She said: And 'Abdullah was of limited means, so she said to him: "Is it permissible for me to place my charity upon you and upon the sons of my brother who are orphans?" 'Abdullah said: "Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about that." She said: So I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and at his door there was a woman from the Ansar called Zaynab, asking about the same thing I was asking about. Then Bilal came out to us, and we said to him: "Go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him about that, but do not tell him who we are." So he went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: "Who are the two?" He said: "Zaynab." He said: "Which of the Zaynab's?" He said: "Zaynab, the wife of 'Abdullah, and Zaynab the Ansariyyah." He said: "Yes, they have two rewards: the reward of kinship and the reward of charity."

Also recorded by Ahmad (16227), (16235), (17872), and (17883), and Ibn Majah (1844), and Ibn Hibban (3344), through various chains from Ibn 'Awn, with this chain of transmission.

Also recorded by Ahmad (16226) and (17873), and al-Tirmidhi (658) via the route of Sufyan ibn 'Uyaynah, from 'Asim al-Ahwal, and Ahmad (16232) and (17877) via the route of Hisham ibn Hassan, both from Hafsah, with it, and in both there is an addition mentioning breaking the fast with dates or water, and mentioning the 'Aqiqah for a newborn.

Hisham ibn Hassan also narrated it from Hafsah, from Salman ibn 'Amir, without mentioning Umm al-Ra'i'h, as in the Musnad of Ahmad (16233), (16234), (17871), and (17884).

It has a supporting witness within the hadith of Zaynab, the wife of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), in which it says: "They have two rewards: the reward of kinship and the reward of charity," and it will come in the following hadith, and it is in the Two Sahihs. The rest of its supporting witnesses are to be found in the commentary on the hadith of the Musnad (16226).

(1) After it in (R): meaning scarcity of means, and it is a variant in the margins of (K) and (M).
(2) His statement: "so she said to him," has a variant marking in the margin of (K).
(3) In the margin of (H): "orphans" (variant).
(4) In the margin of (K): "upon us" (variant).
(5) Its chain of transmission is authentic. Ghandar: he is Muhammad ibn Ja'far, and Sulayman is Ibn Mihran al-A'mash. =
