LOOK AFTER WIDOWS AND THE NEEDY

266

“He who works to support widows and the needy is like one who strives in the Cause of Allah.” (The narrator also said that he thought that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, added:) “and like the one who stands praying all night, never stopping, and like the one who fasts and never breaks it.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
