اُردوEn
عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ الْعَاصَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ نَذَرَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَنْ يَنْحَرَ مِائَةَ بَدَنَةٍ، وَإِنَّ هِشَامَ بْنَ الْعَاصِ نَحَرَ حِصَّتَهُ خَمْسِينَ بَدَنَةً، وَأَنَّ عَمْرًا سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: ((أَمَّا أَبُوكَ فَلَوْ كَانَ أَقَرَّ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ فَصُمْتَ وَتَصَدَّقْتَ عَنْهُ نَفَعَهُ ذَلِكَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Aas bin Wa'il had made a vow in the days of ignorance to sacrifice one hundred camels. (Then he died, and one of his sons) Hisham bin Aas sacrificed fifty camels from his share, but Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If your father had affirmed the Oneness (of Allah), and then you fasted and gave charity on his behalf, it would have benefited him.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … ‘As had two sons, Hisham and ‘Amr. From this hadith, it is understood that righteous deeds do not benefit one who dies upon disbelief.
