In this Hadīth, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) demonstrates the areas of spending and goodness, their varying rewards, and which of them should be given precedence over others in case of the inability to do all of them. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) informs that the best spending is a Dinar you spend in the cause of Allah, i.e., in the battle, or in the general sense: in the way of goodness; a Dinar you spend to free someone from captivity or a slave from slavery; and a Dinar you spend on your family, like your wife and children and those you are obliged to spend on. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) points out that the greatest of all these types of spending in terms of reward is the Dinar you spend on your family, provided that one intends it for the sake of Allah Almighty. In a version in the Two Sahīh Collections: "When a Muslim spends on his family seeking reward for it (from Allah), it counts for him as charity." So, it clarifies that if he seeks a reward for it from Allah, it counts as charity for him. This is because spending money on them is a duty, and he incurs a sin if he neglects them. Therefore, this entails a greater reward than if he spends on people other than his dependents, forsaking his dependents. In the Hadīth: There are numerous areas of spending in righteousness, goodness, and charity. And in it: Spending on one's dependents is one of the greatest areas of spending. And in it: Spending on Jihad in the cause of Allah is one of the greatest areas of spending, such as preparing the equipment and men for Jihad..
