وحَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذْ أَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي بِجَارِيَةٍ ، وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ : " وَجَبَ أَجْرُكِ وَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْكِ الْمِيرَاثُ " ، قَالَتْ " يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ ، أَفَأَصُومُ عَنْهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : " صُومِي عَنْهَا " ، قَالَتْ : إِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحُجَّ قَطُّ ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهَا ؟ ، قَالَ : " حُجِّي عَنْهَا " ،
Abdullah bin Buraida (RA) reported on the authority of his father: When we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , a woman came to him and said: I had gifted to my mother a maid-servant, and now she (the mother) has died. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: There is a definite reward for you and she (the maid-servant) has been returned to you as an inheritance. She (that woman) again said: Fasts of a month (of Ramadan) are due upon her; should I observe them on her behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe fasts on her behalf. She (again) said: She did not perform Hajj, should I perform it on her behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Perform Hajj on her behalf.
