Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! My mother has passed away and she was not able to make any bequest. If I give charity on her behalf, will it benefit her? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. And you should (give charity in the form of) water.
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the "Sahih".
