عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: إِنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَأَظُنُّهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ، فَهَلْ لَهَا أَجْرٌ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ))
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man said to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): My mother passed away suddenly, and I think that if she could have spoken, she would have given charity. So if I give charity on her behalf, will she receive the reward? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.
