Arabic hadith text

وَعَنْ زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَتْ: خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ

Translation

Zainab, the wife of Abdullah, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us and said, ‘Women, give alms, even if from your jewelry, for on the Day of Resurrection you will be the majority of the inhabitants of Hell.’ Al-Tirmidhi transmitted it.

Translation notes

  • The Arabic says to give alms even from one’s jewelry; it does not specify whether this refers to voluntary giving or zakat on owned jewelry. The English witness notes this difference of opinion.
