وَعَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم: «إِذا أَنْفَقَ الْمُسْلِمُ نَفَقَةً عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ يَحْتَسِبُهَا كَانَت لَهُ صَدَقَة»
Translation
Abu Mas‘ud reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘When a Muslim spends on his family, seeking reward for it, it counts as charity for him.’
