Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا أَنْفَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَهُوَ يَحْتَسِبُهَا كَانَتْ لَهُ صَدَقَةً " .
Translation
Muhammad ibn Bashshar reported: Muhammad narrated to us: Shuubah narrated to us, from Adi ibn Thabit, who said: I heard Abd Allah ibn Yazid al-Ansari relate from Abu Masud, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: When a man spends on his family, seeking reward for it, it counts as charity for him.
Translation notes
The condition that the husband seeks reward is explicitly retained.
