"عَنْ سَعْدِ بْن عُبَادَةَ قَالَ: جئْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ: تُوُفِّيتْ أُمِّى وَلَمْ تُوصِ، فهل يُغْنِى عَنْها إنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا؟ فَقالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ : وَلَوْ بِكُرَاعٍ (* * *) مُحْرَقٍ".

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: "My mother has passed away and she did not leave a will or give charity. Will it be accepted if I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." I asked: "Will it benefit her?" He said: "Yes, even if it is the leg of a roasted sheep."
