A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: My mother has died, and fasts of a month are due from her. Thereupon he said: Don't you see that if debt was due from her, would you not pay it? She said: Yes (I would pay on her behalf). Thereupon he said: The debt of Allah deserves its payment more than (the payment of anyone else).  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ بِالْقَضَاءِ  

A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, my mother has died and there is due from her a fast of vow; should I fast on her behalf? Thereupon he said: You see that if your mother had died in debt, would it not have been paid on her behalf? She said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then observe fast on behalf of your mother.  

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ نَذْرٍ أَفَأَصُومُ عَنْهَا قَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتِيهِ أَكَانَ يُؤَدِّي ذَلِكِ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَصُومِي عَنْ أُمِّكِ  

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said (to him) that one month's fast was due from her mother who had died. May I fulfill them on her behalf? He asked: Suppose some debt was due from your mother, would you pay it ? She replied: Yes. He said: So the debt due to Allah is the one which most deserves to be paid.  

أَنَّ امْرَأَةً جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ قَاضِيَتَهُ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى  

"A woman came to the Prophet and said: 'My sister died while she had two consecutive months of fasting due.' So he said: 'Do you not see that if there was a debt due from your sister then you would have to pay it?' She said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then the right of Allah is more appropriate.'"  

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُخْتِي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُخْتِكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَحَقُّ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ وَعَائِشَةَ  

“A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, my sister has died and she owed a fast of two consecutive months.’ He said: ‘Do you not think that if your sister owed a debt, you would pay it off for her?’ She said: ‘Of course.’ He said: ‘The right of Allah is greater.’”  

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُخْتِي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُخْتِكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَ فَحَقُّ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ  

A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said (to him) that one month's fast was due from her mother who had died. May I fulfill them on her behalf? He asked: Suppose some debt was due from your mother, would you pay it ? She replied: Yes. He said: So the debt due to Allah is the one which most deserves to be paid. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3310)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى  

[Machine] From the Prophet (PBUH) who said, "A woman came to him and said, 'Indeed, my mother has passed away and she had missed a month of fasting. Can I fast on her behalf?' He said, 'Would you have paid off her debt if she had one?' She replied, 'Yes.' He then said, 'Indeed, the debt owed to Allah is more deserving to be paid off.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ أَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ فَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَكِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ كُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ ﷻ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى  

[Machine] A woman came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has passed away and she had a missed fast from the month of Ramadan. Should I make it up for her?" He replied, "Would you not have paid off her debt if she had one?" She said, "Yes." He said, "So the debt owed to Allah ﷻ is more deserving to be paid off."  

أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِي عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ أَمَا كُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ؟ قَالَتْ بَلَى قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ ﷻ أَحَقُّ  

[Machine] O Messenger of Allah, her mother was fasting for a month and then she died. Should she fast on her behalf? He said, "If your mother had a debt, would you pay it off?" She said, "Yes." He said, "Then the debt owed to Allah deserves to be fulfilled."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ فَمَاتَتْ أَفَأَصُومُهُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ قَاضِيَتَهُ؟ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ ﷻ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى

جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُخْتِي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُخْتِكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ؟ » قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَحَقُّ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother had an obligation of fasting for a month and she passed away." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Would you not have fulfilled her debt if she owed someone money?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then the debt of Allah deserves to be fulfilled even more."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولُ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي جَعَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا صَوْمَ شَهْرٍ وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ كُنْتَ تَقْضِيهِ؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى»

"أرأيتَ لو على كان أمِّك دَينٌ أَكُنْتَ قاضِيَه عنها؟ قال: نَعْم، قال: فدين الله أحقُّ أن يُقْضَى".  

"عَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ: أَنَّ امْرَاةً أَتَتِ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَتْ: يَارَسُولَ اللهِ! إَنَّ أُمِّى مَاتَتْ وَلَمْ تَحُجَّ فَيُجْزِى عَلَىَّ أَنْ أَحُجَّ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتِهِ أَكَانَ يُجْزِى عَنْهَا؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ. قَالَ: فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى".  

"عَنْ سَعِيد بْن جُيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: أَتَتِ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ جهَيْنَةَ فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنَّ أُمَى مَاتَتْ وَلَمْ تَحُجَ أَفَأَحُجّ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ: أرَأيْتِ

لَوْ كانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ فَقَضَيْتِهِ أَكَانَ يَجْزِى عَنْهَا؟ قَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَدَيْنُ الله أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى".
