‘From the Dinar (money) that you spent in the path of Allaah, the Dinar that you spent in freeing a slave, the Dinar that you gave in charity to a needy person, and the Dinar you spent on your family, the one that is the greatest in reward is the one that you spent on your family.’ [Collected by Muslim]

‘The most complete of the Believers in their Eemaan are those who have the best manners, and the best of you are those who are best to their women.’[Albaani said in ‘Silsilah Saheehah’ no. 284]
