Hadith 8.2
Zakat
ENGLISH
Sulaiman b. ‘Amir reported God’s messenger as saying, “<i>Sadaqa</i> given to a poor man is just <i>sadaqa</i>, but when given to a relative it serves a double purpose, being both <i>sadaqa</i> and a connecting link.” Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Nasa’i, Ibn Majah and Darimi transmitted it.

وَعَنْ سَلْمَانَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ صَدَقَةٌ وَهِيَ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ ثِنْتَانِ: صَدَقَةٌ وَصِلَةٌ
