Sahih al-Bukhari 6332 (Book 80, Hadith 29) #6083
Praying for the Families of Almsgivers

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) would pray for the families of those who gave alms to him.

Narrated Ibn Abi 'Aufa: Whenever a man brought his alms to the Prophet, the Prophet would say, "O Allah! Bestow Your Blessing upon the family of so-and-so". When my father came to him (with his alms), he said, "O Allah! Bestow Your Blessings upon the family of Abi 'Aufa".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي أَوْفَى ـ رضى الله عنهما كَانَ النَّبِيُّ إِذَا أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ بِصَدَقَةٍ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ فُلاَنٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَأَتَاهُ أَبِي فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى آلِ أَبِي أَوْفَى

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Ibn Abi 'Aufa tells us that whenever someone brought their alms to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he would pray for Allah to bestow His blessings upon their family. This teaches us that when we give charity, it is not only beneficial for those who receive it, but also our own families. It is a reminder that when we do good deeds, Allah will reward us and our loved ones in return. We should strive to be generous and kind with our wealth and resources so that we can reap the rewards both in this life and in the hereafter.
