A man said to the Prophet, "My mother died suddenly, and I think that if she could speak, she would have given in charity. May I give in charity on her behalf?" He said, "Yes! Give in charity on her behalf."

لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسَهَا وَأُرَاهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ تَصَدَّقْ عَنْهَا

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died; shall I give in charity on her behalf?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'What kind of charity is best?' He said: 'Providing drinking water.'"

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَأَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ سَقْىُ الْمَاءِ

"O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died; can I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What kind of charity is best?" He said: "Providing drinking water." And that is the drinking-fountain of Sa'd in Al-Madinah.

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَىُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ سَقْىُ الْمَاءِ فَتِلْكَ سِقَايَةُ سَعْدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ

"O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died; can I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What kind of charity is best?" He said: "Providing drinking water." And that is the drinking-fountain of Sa'd in Al-Madinah. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3666)

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ فَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ سَقْيُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ فَتِلْكَ سِقَايَةُ آلِ سَعْدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ

"O Messenger of Allah, my mother died; will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." He said: "I have a garden and I ask you to bear witness that I am giving it in charity on her behalf." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3655)

لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أُمَّهُ تُوُفِّيَتْ أَفَيَنْفَعُهَا إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ فَإِنَّ لِي مَخْرَفًا وَأُشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا

"My mother died unexpectedly; if she had been able to speak she would have given charity. Should I give charity on her behalf?" The Messenger of Allah said: "Yes." So he gave charity on her behalf. (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3649)

لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَأُرَاهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَعَمْ»

[AI] I said, O Messenger of Allah, Um Saad has passed away and did not make any will. Should I give charity on her behalf? He said, "Yes."

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ سَعْدٍ تُوُفِّيَتْ وَلَمْ تُوصِ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»

[AI] "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has passed away and did not leave any instructions. Would it benefit her if I give charity on her behalf?" He said, "Yes."

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ تُوُفِّيَتْ أُمِّي وَلَمْ تُوصِ أَفَيَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»

"My mother died and did not leave a will; shall I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3654)
