Hadith text
Narrated `Amr bin Al-Harith:Zainab, the wife of `Abdullah said, "I was in the Mosque and saw the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'O women ! Give alms even from your ornaments.' " Zainab used to provide for `Abdullah and those orphans who were under her protection. So she said to `Abdullah, "Will you ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakat on you and the orphans who are under my protection?" He replied "Will you yourself ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" (Zainab added): So I went to the Prophet and I saw there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) with a similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet (ﷺ) whether it is permissible for me to spend (the Zakat) on my husband and the orphans under my protection.' And we requested Bilal not to inform the Prophet (ﷺ) about us. So Bilal went inside and asked the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding our problem. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Who are those two?" Bilal replied that she was Zainab. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Which Zainab?" Bilal said, "The wife of `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud)." The Prophet said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double reward (for that): One for helping relatives, and the other for giving Zakat
Amr bin Al-Harith bataate hain: Zainab, Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) ki biwi, ne kaha: "Main masjid mein thi aur maine Nabi ko farmate suna: 'Aye aurton! Sadqa do, chahe apne zewar mein se ho.'" Zainab Abdullah aur unke pariwara mein rehne wale yateemon ki dekhbhal karti thi. Isliye unhone Abdullah se kaha: "Kya tum Allah ke Rasool se pucchoge kya Zakat ka kuch hissa tumpar aur mere pariwara ke yateemon par kharch karna kaafi hoga?" Unhone jawab diya: "Kya tum khud Allah ke Rasool se pucchogi?" (Zainab ne joda:) Isliye main Nabi ke paas gayi aur wahan ek Ansari aurat ko dekha jo darwaze par khadi thi, uski bhi yehi mushkil thi jaisi meri. Bilal humare paas se guzre aur humne unse kaha: "Nabi se poochhein kya Zakat mera shohar aur mere pariwara ke yateemon par kharch karna jaiz hai." Aur humne Bilal se guzarish ki ke woh humare naam Nabi ko na batayen. To Bilal andar gaye aur Nabi se humari mushkil pucchi. Nabi ne pucha: "Yeh dono kaun hain?" Bilal ne jawab diya Zainab. Nabi ne pucha: "Kaunsi Zainab?" Bilal ne kaha: "Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) ki biwi." Nabi ne farmaya: "Haan, (jaiz hai), aur unhe dohra ajr milega: ek rishtedaron ki madad ka, aur doosra Zakat dene ka."
