Sahih al-Bukhari 1466
Narrated `Amr bin Al-Harith:
Zainab, the wife of `Abdullah said, "I was in the Mosque and saw the Prophet (p.b.u.h) 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 (p.b.u.h) 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 rewards (for that): One for 
helping relatives, and the other for giving Zakat."
