Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir رضي الله عنه reports that a man came to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and asked: My mother has passed away leaving behind some jewelry, so can I give this jewelry in charity on her behalf? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: Did your mother instruct you to do so? He replied: No. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم said: Then keep your mother’s jewelry with yourself (and do not give it in charity).
