A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, my mother has died (in a state) that she had to observe fasts of a month (of Ramadan). Should I complete (them) on her behalf? thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Would you not pay the debt if your mother had died (without paying it)? He said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The debt of Allah deserves more that it should he paid.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ جَمِيعًا وَنَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ حِينَ حَدَّثَ مُسْلِمٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالاَ سَمِعْنَا مُجَاهِدًا يَذْكُرُ هَذَا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

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  

A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: Messenger of Allah, my mother has died (in a state) that she had to observe fasts of a month (of Ramadan). Should I complete (them) on her behalf? thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Would you not pay the debt if your mother had died (without paying it)? He said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The debt of Allah deserves more that it should he paid. (Using translation from Muslim 1148b)  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ «لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكَ دَيْنٌ كُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ عَنْهَا؟» قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ «فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى» قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ فَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ وَنَحْنُ جَمِيعًا جُلُوسٌ حَيْثُ حَدَّثَ مُسْلِمٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَا سَمِعْنَا مُجَاهِدًا يَذْكُرُهَا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

[Machine] A man came to the prophet ﷺ and said, "Indeed, my mother has passed away and she has a month of fasting owed. Should I fast on her behalf?" He (the prophet) said, "Do you think if she had a debt, would you fulfill it for her? So, the debt of Allah deserves to be fulfilled." Sulaiman narrated to me this hadith from Salamah bin Kuhayl, and Al-Hakam also narrated the same from Ibn Abbas.  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِي عَنْهَا قَالَ «أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ تَقْضِيهِ؟ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى» قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ سَلَمَةُ بْنُ كُهَيْلٍ وَالْحَكَمُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has passed away, and she still has one month of fasting left. Should I fast on her behalf?" He ﷺ replied, "If your mother had a debt, would you repay it on her behalf?" The man answered, "Yes." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Allah's debt is more deserving to be repaid." Sulaiman (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The judgment and the ruling are correct." We were sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a Muslim narrated this incident. Salamah and Nahnu (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "We have heard Mujahid mentioning this from Ibn Abbas."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَقْضِيهِ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكَ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدَيْنُ اللهِ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُقْضَى قَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ الْحَكَمُ وَسَلَمَةُ وَنَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ حِينَ كَانَ مُسْلِمٌ يُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا فَقَالَا سَمِعْنَا مُجَاهِدًا يَذْكُرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ هَذَا
