قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَالِدَتِي كَانَتْ تَتَصَدَّقُ وتُنْفِقُ مِنْ مَالِي فِي حَيَاتِهَا فَقَدْ مَاتَتْ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا أَوْ أَعْتَقْتُ عَنْهَا نَرْجُو لَهَا شَيْئًا؟ فقَالَ «نَعَمْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى صَدَقَةٍ قَالَ «اسْقِ الْمَاءَ» قَالَ الْحَسَنُ فَمَا زَالَتْ جِرَارُ سَعْدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَعْدُ
