عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ امْرَأَةٌ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ، أَفَأَقْضِي عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَ: ((أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دِينٌ أَمَا كُنْتِ تَقْضِينَهُ؟)) قَالَ: بَلَى، قَالَ: ((فَدِينُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحَقُّ))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a woman came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! My mother has passed away, while she still owed a month of fasting. Can I make up the fasts on her behalf? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What do you think—if your mother had a debt, would you have paid it off? She replied: Yes, of course. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then Allah’s debt is more deserving to be fulfilled.
