"عَنِ الحَسَنِ قَالَ: قَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّى كُنْتُ ابْنَ أُمِّ سَعْدٍ وَإنَّهَا مَاتَتْ فَهَلْ يَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَأَىُّ الصَّدِقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: اسْقِ المَاء فَجَعَلَ صهريجين في المَدِينَةِ، قَالَ الحَسَنُ: فَرُبَّمَا سَقيتُ بَيْنَهُما وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ".
