٣٥۔ كِتَابُ الْوَصَايَا
[Machine] Narrated Aisha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ : A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my mother vowed to fast but she passed away before fulfilling it. I believe that if she spoke, she would give charity. Does she get rewarded if I give charity on her behalf?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes, except that Malik said in the hadith, 'And I see if she spoke, she would give charity. Should I give charity on her behalf?' He replied, 'Yes.'"
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّيَ افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَأَظُنُّهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ فَهَلْ لَهَا أَجْرٌ فِي أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ إِلَّا أَنَّ مَالِكًا قَالَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ وَأُرَاهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Indeed, my mother passed away while she was in a state of disbelief, and I think that if she were to speak, she would have embraced Islam. Will she be rewarded if I give charity on her behalf?' He ﷺ answered, 'Yes,' according to the narration of Abu Abdullah alone."
لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَأَظُنُّهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ فَهَلْ لَهَا أَجْرٌ إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ وَحْدَهُ
That the mother of Saʿd bin Ubada the brother of Bani Saida died in Saʿd's absence, so he came to the Prophet saying, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! My mother died in my absence, will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes." Saʿd said, "I take you as my witness that I give my garden Al-Makhraf in charity on her behalf." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2762)
أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ تُوُفِّيَتْ أُمُّهُ وَهُوَ غَائِبٌ عَنْهَا فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي تُوُفِّيَتْ وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ عَنْهَا يَنْفَعُهَا إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ حَائِطِي الْمِخْرَافَ صَدَقَةٌ عَنْهَا
[Machine] Saad ibn Ubada was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in some of his battles. When the death of Umm Saad approached, she was told to make her will. She asked, "To whom should I make my will?" They replied, "To Saad ibn Ubada." However, she died before Saad arrived. When Saad came and was informed about what had happened to his mother, he went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about his mother's situation. He asked the Prophet, "Will it benefit her if I give charity on her behalf?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." So Saad donated a wall, named as such, as charity on her behalf.
أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَحَضَرَتْ أُمَّ سَعْدٍ الْوَفَاةُ فَقِيلَ لَهَا أَوْصِي فَقَالَتْ فِيمَ أُوصِي؟ إِنَّمَا الْمَالُ مَالُ سَعْدٍ فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ سَعْدٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ سَعْدٌ فَخُبِّرَ بِالَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ أُمِّهِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ أُمِّهِ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ حَائِطُ كَذَا وَكَذَا سَمَّاهُ صَدَقَةٌ عَنْهَا
[Machine] He said that Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah al-Ansari, a companion of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ , asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about a vow that his mother had made before she passed away without fulfilling it. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "Fulfill it on her behalf."
أَنَّهُ قَالَ اسْتَفْتَى سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا
[Machine] To the Prophet ﷺ , indeed, my father died and left behind wealth without leaving a will. Will charity on his behalf expiate for him? He said, "Yes."
لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ مَالًا وَلَمْ يُوصِ فَهَلْ يُكَفِّرُ عَنْهُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ
