Sunan Ibn Majah 2297 (Book 12, Hadith 161) #31649
The Rewards of Charity

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) taught that both the giver and receiver of charity will be rewarded.

It was narrated that 'Umair, the freed slave of Aabi Lahm, said: "My master used to give me food and I would feed others from it, then he stopped me," or he said: "He beat me. So I asked the Prophet," -or- "he asked him and I said: 'I will not stop'. He said: 'Both of you will be rewarded"'.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُمَيْرٍ، - مَوْلَى آبِي اللَّحْمِ - قَالَ كَانَ مَوْلاَىَ يُعْطِينِي الشَّىْءَ فَأُطْعِمُ مِنْهُ فَمَنَعَنِي - أَوْ قَالَ فَضَرَبَنِي - فَسَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ أَوْ سَأَلَهُ فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَنْتَهِي أَوْ لاَ أَدَعُهُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ الأَجْرُ بَيْنَكُمَا
