Book 32: Guests and Spending

Chapter 319

There is a reward for everything, even the morsel given to a wife

بَابُ يُؤْجَرُ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى اللُّقْمَةُ يَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى فِي امْرَأَتِهِ

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 752
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنِي عَامِرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لِسَعْدٍ‏:‏ إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلاَّ أُجِرْتَ بِهَا، حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فَمِ امْرَأَتِكَ‏.‏
Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas transmitted that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said to him, "You do not spend anything by which you desire the face of Allah Almighty but that you art rewarded for it, even what you place in your wife's mouth."
