عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَحَكِيمِ بْنِ حِزَامٍ قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ مَا كَانَ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى وأبدأ بِمن تعول» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ وَمُسلم عَن حَكِيم وَحده

Umm Salama said she asked God’s messenger whether she would have a reward for what she spent on Abu Salama’s sons, for they were only her sons, and he replied, “Spend on them and you will have the reward for what you spend on them.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)
