HIGHEST REWARD FOR CHARITY H 289 "Of the dinar you spend in the Cause of Allah; the dinar you spend to procure the freedom of a slave; the dinar you give in charity to the poor and the dinar you spend on your wife and children, the highest in reward is for the one you spend on your wife and children." R 289 Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
289- وعن أَبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "دِينَارٌ أنْفَقْتَهُ في سَبيلِ اللهِ ، وَدِينار أنْفَقْتَهُ في رَقَبَةٍ ، وَدِينارٌ تَصَدَّقْتَ بِهِ عَلَى مِسْكِينٍ ، وَدِينَارٌ أنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أهْلِكَ ، أعْظَمُهَا أجْراً الَّذِي أنْفَقْتَهُ عَلَى أهْلِكَ" رواه مسلم .
