سَعِيدُ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ «كَانَ يَنْزِلُ الْمَدِينَةَ»

"Sa'd bin 'Ubadah went out with the Prophet on one of his campaigns, and death came to his mother in Al-Madinah. It was said to her (as she was dying): 'Make a will.' She said: 'To whom shall I make a will? The wealth belongs to Sa'd.' Then she died before Sa'd came. When Sa'd came, he was told about that and he said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?' The Prophet said: 'Yes.' Sa'd said: 'Such and such a garden is given in charity on her behalf' -regarding a garden that he named." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3650)

malik:36-70Mālik > Saʿīd b. ʿAmr b. Shuraḥbīl b. Saʿīd b. Saʿd b. ʿUbādah from his father from his father

Malik related to me from Said ibn Amr Shurahbil ibn Said ibn Sad ibn Ubada from his father that his father said, ''Sad ibn Ubada went out with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in one of his raids and his mother was dying in Madina. Someone said to her, 'Leave a testament.' She said, 'In what shall I leave a testament? The property is Sad's property.' Then she died before Sad returned. When Sad ibn Ubada returned, that was mentioned to him. Sad said, 'Messenger of Allah! Will it help her if I give sadaqa for her?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Yes' Sad said, 'Such-and-such a garden is sadaqa for her,' naming the garden."

[Machine] Saad ibn Ubada was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in some of his battles. When the death of Umm Saad approached, she was told to make her will. She asked, "To whom should I make my will?" They replied, "To Saad ibn Ubada." However, she died before Saad arrived. When Saad came and was informed about what had happened to his mother, he went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about his mother's situation. He asked the Prophet, "Will it benefit her if I give charity on her behalf?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Yes." So Saad donated a wall, named as such, as charity on her behalf.
