[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my mother has passed away, and I wish to give charity on her behalf." The Prophet asked him, "Did she leave any will for you?" The man replied, "No." The Prophet then said, "Then do not do so."  

أحمد:١٧٣٥٦حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَيْرِ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا قَالَ أَمَرَتْكَ؟ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلْ
