Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ الرَّائِحِ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الصَّدَقَةَ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ صَدَقَةٌ وَعَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ اثْنَتَانِ صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَةٌ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Abd al-Ala reported: Khalid narrated to us: Ibn Awn narrated to us, from Hafsah, from Umm al-Raih, from Salman ibn Amir, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: Charity given to a poor person is one charity, and charity given to a relative is two: charity and maintaining kinship.

Translation notes
  • The report explicitly counts charity to a relative as both charity and maintaining kinship. Umm al-Raih is kept as transmitted, without supplying an additional identification.
