حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُصْطَلِقِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي زَيْنَبَ امْرَأَةِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ، قَالَتْ: خَطَبَنَا (١) رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " يَا مَعْشَرَ، ، النِّسَاءِ، تَصَدَّقْنَ، وَلَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ، فَإِنَّكُنَّ أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ". قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ رَجُلًا (١) خَفِيفَ ذَاتِ الْيَدِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: سَلْ لِي رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُجْزِئُ (٢) عَنِّي مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ النَّفَقَةُ عَلَى زَوْجِي وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حِجْرِي؟ قَالَتْ: وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُلْقِيَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَهَابَةُ، فَقَالَ: اذْهَبِي أَنْتِ، فَاسْأَلِيهِ. قَالَتْ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ، فَانْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى بَابِهِ (٣) ، فَإِذَا عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ اسْمُهَا زَيْنَبُ، حَاجَتِي حَاجَتُهَا (٤) ، قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا بِلَالٌ، قَالَتْ: فَقُلْنَا لَهُ: سَلْ لَنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُجْزِئُ (٥) عَنَّا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ النَّفَقَةُ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِنَا وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حُجُورِنَا؟ قَالَتْ: فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ بِلَالٌ، فَقَالَ: عَلَى الْبَابِ زَيْنَبُ، فَقَالَ: " أَيُّ الزَّيَانِبِ؟ " قَالَتْ (٦) : فَقَالَ: زَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، وَزَيْنَبُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، تَسْأَلَانِكَ عَنِ النَّفَقَةِ عَلَى أَزْوَاجِهِمَا، وَأَيْتَامٍ فِي حُجُورِهِمَا، أَيُجْزِئُ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمَا مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ؟ قَالَتْ: فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " لَهُمَا أَجْرَانِ: أَجْرُ الْقَرَابَةِ، وَأَجْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ " (٧)، ،

It is narrated from Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) that one day the Prophet (ﷺ) addressed us and said: "O group of women! I have seen that on the Day of Resurrection, the majority of the people of Hell will be from among you, so give charity as much as you can to seek nearness to Allah, even if it is from your jewelry." She says that Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was financially weak, so I said to him, "Ask the Prophet (ﷺ) whether it would be correct if I spend on my husband and the orphans under my care?" Since the personality of the Prophet (ﷺ) was awe-inspiring, he said to me, "You go yourself and ask him." I went, and there was another Ansari woman named Zainab present there, and she had the same question as I did. Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came out, so we asked him to present this issue to the Prophet (ﷺ). He went inside and said, "Zainab is at the door." The Prophet (ﷺ) asked, "Which Zainab?" (because this was the name of several women). Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that it was the wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and she is asking this question. The Prophet (ﷺ) came to us and said: "They will receive a double reward, one for maintaining family ties and one for giving charity."

حَدَّثَنَا أَسْوَدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ كُلْثُومٍ،، ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَرَّثَ النِّسَاءَ خِطَطَهُنَّ " (١)،

It is narrated from Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (ﷺ) gave women their share in inheritance.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ جَامِعِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ، عَنْ كُلْثُومٍ قَالَ (٢) : كَانَتْ زَيْنَبُ تَفْلِي رَأْسَ (٣) رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَعِنْدَهُ امْرَأَةُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ، وَنِسَاءٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرَاتِ يَشْكُونَ مَنَازِلَهُنَّ، وَأَنَّهُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ مِنْهُ، وَيُضَيَّقُ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِيهِ، فَتَكَلَّمَتْ زَيْنَبُ، وَتَرَكَتْ رَأْسَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّكِ لَسْتِ تَكَلَّمِينَ بِعَيْنَيْكِ، تَكَلَّمِي وَاعْمَلِي عَمَلَكِ ". فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَنْ يُوَرَّثَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ النِّسَاءُ " (٤) فَمَاتَ عَبْدُ اللهِ، فَوَرِثَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ دَارًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ " (٥)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،

It is narrated from Kulthum that once Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) was removing lice from the head of the Prophet (ﷺ). At that time, the wife of Uthman bin Maz'oon (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present there, along with other emigrant women. They were discussing their household difficulties and how, after leaving Makkah, they had fallen into hardship. Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her) also left the Prophet’s (ﷺ) head and joined in the conversation. The Prophet (ﷺ) said to her: "You should not talk with your eyes; keep talking and continue with your work as well." And on this occasion, the Prophet (ﷺ) issued the ruling that the women of the emigrants would be entitled to inheritance. Thus, after the death of Abdullah bin Mas'ood (may Allah be pleased with him), his wife was declared the heir of a house in Madinah Munawwarah.
