This hadith is listed as number 4220 in Maktaba Shamila
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ " أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِنَّ أُمِّيَ افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ ، فَلِي أَجْرٌ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : نَعَمْ " .
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that a man said to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) : My mother died all of a sudden, and I think if she (could have the opportunity) to speak she would have (made a will) regarding Sadaqa'. Will I be entitled to reward if I give charity on her behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes.
