He said: "Charity given to the poor person is charity, and [charity given] to a relative is two things: charity and upholding family ties."(1)

In this chapter [there is also a narration] from Zaynab, the wife of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd, and from Jābir, and from Abū Hurayrah.

The ḥadīth of Salmān ibn ʿĀmir is a ḥasan ḥadīth.(2)

Al-Rabāb is: Umm al-Rāʾiḥ, the daughter of Ṣulayʿ.

Thus Sufyān al-Thawrī narrated, from ʿĀṣim, from Ḥafṣah bint Sīrīn, from al-Rabāb, from her paternal uncle Salmān ibn ʿĀmir, from the Prophet ﷺ, something similar to this ḥadīth.

And Shuʿbah narrated, from ʿĀṣim, from Ḥafṣah bint Sīrīn, from Salmān—

--------------------------------------------
(1) The second part of the ḥadīth, namely his saying: "Charity given to the poor person is charity, and [charity given] to a relative is two things: charity and upholding family ties" is ṣaḥīḥ by virtue of other corroborating narrations, though this chain is weak due to the unknown status of al-Rabāb; no one narrated from her except Ḥafṣah bint Sīrīn, and none declared her trustworthy except Ibn Ḥibbān.

It was transmitted in part and in abridged form by Abū Dāwūd (2355), Ibn Mājah (1699) and (1844), al-Nasāʾī in al-Kubrā (2363) and (3320), and in al-Mujtabā 5/92.

Breaking the fast with dates, or with water when dates are unavailable, is established from his ﷺ action in the ḥadīth of Anas, as will come with the author at number (705).

And his ﷺ saying: "Charity given to the poor person is charity, and [charity given] to a relative is two things: charity and upholding family ties" has corroborating witnesses which we have elaborated in Musnad Aḥmad at number (16226).

(2) Thus he said here, and the ḥadīth will come with him at number (704), where he said of it: "ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ."
