وَعَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ صَدَقَةٌ وَهِيَ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ ثِنْتَانِ: صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَةٌ ". رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالنَّسَائِيُّ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ
Translation
Salman ibn ‘Amir reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Charity to a poor person is one charity, while to a relative it is two: charity and maintaining family ties.’ Ahmad, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa’i, Ibn Majah, and al-Darimi transmitted it.
