حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ بِالصَّدَقَةِ . فَقَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَيُجْزِينِي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَلَى زَوْجِي وَهُوَ فَقِيرٌ وَبَنِي أَخٍ لِي أَيْتَامٍ وَأَنَا أُنْفِقُ عَلَيْهِمْ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَعَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ قَالَ " نَعَمْ " . قَالَ وَكَانَتْ صَنَاعَ الْيَدَيْنِ .

Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us; Hafs ibn Ghiyath narrated to us, from Hisham ibn Urwah, from his father, from Zaynab bint Umm Salamah, from Umm Salamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to give charity. Zaynab, the wife of Abdullah, said, ‘Does it count as charity for me to give to my husband, who is poor, and to my brother’s orphaned sons? I spend on them in these ways and in every circumstance.’ He said, ‘Yes.’ The narrator said: She was skilled in handiwork.
