11. Fasting
١١۔ كِتَابُ الصِّيَامِ
[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever dies and still owes a fast, his guardian should fast on his behalf."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صِيَامٌ صَامَ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ
The Prophet ﷺ as saying: If anyone dies when some fast is due from him (i.e. which he could not keep) his heir must fast on his behalf. Abu Dawud said: This applies to the fast which a man vows ; and this is the opinion of Ahmad b. Hanbal. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2400)
رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صِيَامٌ صَامَ عَنْهُ وَلِيُّهُ
[Machine] "A woman came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said, 'Indeed, my mother has died while she had a month of fasting left.' He (PBUH) said, 'Do you think that if she had a debt, you would have paid it off for her?' She said, 'Yes.' So he (PBUH) said, 'The debt of Allah is more deserving of being paid off.'"
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ دَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ بِالْقَضَاءِ
[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has passed away, and she still has one month of fasting left. Should I fast on her behalf?" He ﷺ replied, "If your mother had a debt, would you repay it on her behalf?" The man answered, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Allah's debt is more deserving to be repaid." Sulaiman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The judgment and the ruling are correct." We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a Muslim narrated this incident. Salamah and Nahnu (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "We have heard Mujahid mentioning this from Ibn Abbas."
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ الْحَكَمُ وَسَلَمَةُ وَنَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ حِينَ كَانَ مُسْلِمٌ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا فَقَالَا سَمِعْنَا مُجَاهِدًا يَذْكُرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ هَذَا
[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed my sister has passed away and she owed two consecutive months of fasting." He ﷺ said, "Would you have paid off her debt if she had owed money?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Then the right of Allah is more deserving."
جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُخْتِي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُخْتِكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَحَقُّ اللهِ أَحَقُّ
[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him that her sister had made a vow to fast for a month, but she died before being able to fulfill it because she had embarked on a sea voyage. The Prophet ﷺ then told her, "I will fast on behalf of your sister." This statement indicates that the Prophet ﷺ granted permission to fast on behalf of another person, just as she had intended.
أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَتْ لَهُ أَنَّ أُخْتَهَا نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرًا وَأَنَّهَا رَكِبَتِ الْبَحْرَ فَمَاتَتْ وَلَمْ تَصُمْ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صُوْمِي عَنْ أُخْتِكِ فَهَذَا اللَّفْظُ نَصٌّ فِي الصَّوْمِ عَنْهَا وَكَذَلِكَ
[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my mother has passed away while having a vowed fast upon her." He said, "Were you a guardian over her debt if she had any?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Then observe the fast on her behalf."
جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ نَذْرٍ فَقَالَ أَكُنْتِ قَاضِيَةً عَنْهَا دَيْنًا لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَصُومِي عَنْهَا
[Machine] That she was fasting, and then one of her relatives either her sister or her daughter came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and informed him. He said, "Continue fasting." Hushaim reported it from Abu Bishr regarding fasting, and it was narrated by Shu'ba and Abu 'Awanah from Abu Bishr regarding Hajj without fasting. It is possible that the question was asked to both of them, so one of them narrated it and Hammad bin Salamah and the other Hushaim narrated it.
أَنْ تَصُومَ فَجَاءَتْ ذَاتُ قَرَابَةٍ لَهَا إِمَّا أُخْتُهَا أَوِ ابْنَتُهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ فَقَالَ صُوْمِي عَنْهَا تَابَعَهُ هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ فِي الصَّوْمِ وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ فِي الْحَجِّ دُونَ الصَّوْمِ وَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ السُّؤَالُ وَقَعَ عَنْهُمَا فَنَقَلَا أَحَدَهُمَا وَنَقَلَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَهُشَيْمٌ الْآخَرَ فَقَدْ
[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has passed away and she had missed fifteen days of fasting. Shall I fast on her behalf?" He replied, "If your mother had owed a debt, would you pay it off for her?" She said, "Yes." He then said, "Fulfill the fasting owed by your mother, as she was from the tribe of Khath'am." This narration is mentioned by Al-Bukhari and Abu Hurayrah narrated it from Ikrimah. And the scholar Buraydah ibn Husayb also narrated it from the Prophet regarding fasting and Hajj.
أَتَتِ امْرَأَةٌ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا قَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ أَنَّ أُمَّكِ مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ قَاضِيَتَهُ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ اقْضِي دَيْنَ أُمِّكِ وَهِيَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمٍ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَقَالَ أَبُو حَرِيزٍ حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ فَذَكَرَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرَوَاهُ بُرَيْدَةُ بْنُ حُصَيْبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي الصَّوْمِ وَالْحَجِّ جَمِيعًا
[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a woman came to him and said, "I have given charity on behalf of my mother with a slave girl, but she has passed away." He said, "You have earned your reward, and the inheritance has been returned to you." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother had a month of fasting remaining, should I fast on her behalf?" He said, "Fast for her." She said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother did not perform Hajj, should I perform Hajj on her behalf?" He said, "Perform Hajj on her behalf."
كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي بِجَارِيَةٍ وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ قَالَ وَجَبَ أَجْرُكِ وَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْكِ الْمِيرَاثُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَصُومُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ صُوْمِي عَنْهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحُجَّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ حُجِّي عَنْهَا
[Machine] Saad bin Ubada asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a verdict. He said, "My mother passed away, and she had a vow upon her." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Fulfill it on her behalf." The scholar said, "This is a valid and authenticated hadith."
أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ اسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ ثَابِتٌ قَدْ
