حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَدِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَنْفَقَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ يَحْتَسِبُهَا فَهُوَ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ»

The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “If a man spends on his family (with the intention of having a reward from Allah) sincerely for Allah’s sake then it is a (kind of) alms-giving in reward for him.”

আবূ মাস‘ঊদ (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ মানুষ স্বীয় পরিবার-পরিজনের জন্য পুণ্যের আশায় যখন ব্যয় করে তখন সেটা তার জন্য সদাকাহ হয়ে যায়। (৪০০৬, ৫৩৫১)

ہم سے حجاج بن منہال نے بیان کیا، وہ کہتے ہیں کہ ہم سے شعبہ نے بیان کیا، وہ کہتے ہیں مجھ کو عدی بن ثابت نے خبر دی، انہوں نے عبداللہ بن یزید سے سنا، انہوں نے عبداللہ بن مسعود سے نقل کیا انہوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے کہ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا جب آدمی ثواب کی نیت سے اپنے اہل و عیال پر خرچ کرے پس وہ بھی اس کے لیے صدقہ ہے۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Hajjaj bin Minhal] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami [Syu'bah] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepadaku ['Adi bin Tsabit] berkata: Aku pernah mendengar [Abdullah bin Yazid] dari [Abu Mas'ud] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Apabila seseorang memberi nafkah untuk keluarganya dengan niat mengharap pahala maka baginya Sedekah

Ebu Mes’ud r.a. şöyle dedi: Nebiyy-i Mükerrem sallallahu aleyhi ve sellem buyurdu ki: "Kişi Allah'ın rızasını gözeterek ailesine harcama yaptığında bu kendisi için sadaka olur. Tekrar:
