وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «السَّاعِي عَلَى الْأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالسَّاعِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: «كَالْقَائِمِ لَا يَفْتُرُ وَكَالصَّائِمِ لَا يفْطر» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "He who devotes himself to care for a widow and a needy person (looking after them and fulfilling their needs) is like one who strives in Allah's path (and gets the same rewards one who participates in jihad (crusade) and performs Hajj (pilgrimage)). "He thought that he also said, "Like him who offers salah (prayer) in the night (keeping vigil) without any kind of lethargy (in keeping awake) and like him who fasts (all day) without breaking his fast (any day)."
