أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الدِّيلِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْغَيْثِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " .
Amr ibn Mansur reported: Abd Allah ibn Maslamah narrated to us: Malik narrated to us, from Thawr ibn Zayd al-Dayli, from Abu al-Ghayth, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The one who strives on behalf of the widow and the poor is like one who strives in the path of Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
Translation notes
The source praises ongoing effort on behalf of both the widow and the poor by comparing it to striving in the path of Allah.
