The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted: "From Asma' bint Abi Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with them both), she said:
My mother came to me during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and she was a pagan. I said to Allah's Apostle (seeking his verdict), "My mother has come to me and she desires to receive a reward from me, shall I keep good relations with her?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes, keep good relation with her. " قَدِمَت عليَّ أمي وهي مشركة في عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فاستفتيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقلت: قَدِمت علي أمي وهي راغبة ، أفأصل أمي ؟ قال: نعم صِلِي أمك

And from Zaynab al-Thaqafiyyah, the wife of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him and her), she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
when God's messenger told the women that they should give sadaqa , even though it should be some of their jewellery, she returned to ‘Abdallah and said, “you are a man who does not possess much, and God’s messenger has commanded us to give sadaqa ; so go and ask him, and if giving to you will serve for me I shall do so, otherwise I shall give it to someone else.” He told her it would be better to go herself, so she went and found a woman of the Ansar at God's messenger’s door who had come for the same purpose as she had. Now God’s messenger was invested with respect, and when Bilal came out to them they said to him, “Go to God’s messenger and tell him that there are two women at the door who have come to ask him whether it will serve them to give sadaqa to their husbands and to orphans who are in their charge, but do not tell him who we are.” Bilal went in and asked him, and God’s messenger asked him who the women were. When he told him that they were the women of the Ansar and Zainab, he asked him which Zainab it was, and when he was told that it was the wife of ‘Abdallah he said. “They will have two rewards, the reward for kinship and the reward for sadaqa تصدقن يا معشر النساء ولو من حُليكن ، قالت: فرجعت إلى عبد الله بن مسعود فقلت له: إنك رجل خفيف ذات اليد ، وإن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد أمرنا بالصدقة ، فأته فاسأله فإن كان ذلك يجزئ عني وإلا صرفتها إلى غيركم ، قال عبد الله بل ائتيه أنت ، فانطلقت فإذا امرأة من الأنصار بباب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، حاجتي حاجتها ، وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد أُلقيت عليه المهابة ، فخرج علينا بلال فقلنا له : ائت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فأخبره أنَّ امرأتين بالباب تسألانك : أتجزئ الصدقة عنهما على أزواجهما وعلى أيتام في حجورهما ؟ ولا تخبره مَن نحن ، فدخل بلال على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فسأله ، فقال له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: مَن هما؟ قال امرأة من الأنصار وزينب ، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: أي الزيانب هي؟ قال امرأة عبد الله ، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: لهما أجران : أجر القرابة وأجر الصدقة
