The evidence is the saying of Allāh's Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم):
"Are you aided and granted sustenance except by way of the poor, weak ones amongst you?"[1]
And also his (صلى الله عليه وسلم) saying:
Seek (closeness to) me through your poor, weak ones for you are granted sustenance and aided through your poor, weak ones.[2]
From the benefits of benevolence and kindess to the poor and weak is expansive sustenance, aid from Allāh and honour.
