حَدَّثَنَا ابنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبدُ اللَّهِ بنُ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنِ ابنِ برَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبيهِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَتْ امْرَأَةٌ إِلَى النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي بجَارِيَةٍ ، فَمَاتَتْ أُمِّي وَبقِيَتْ الْجَارِيَةُ ، فَقَالَ : " قَدْ وَجَب أَجْرُكِ ، وَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْكِ فِي الْمِيرَاثِ " ، قَالَتْ : فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّي صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ ، أَفَأَصُومُ عَنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَتْ : فَإِنَّ أُمِّي لَمْ تَحُجَّ ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : " حُجِّي عَنْ أُمِّكِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I had given a slave girl in charity to my mother. My mother has passed away, so that slave girl has come back to me as inheritance." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah will reward you for it, and the slave girl has also come to you as inheritance." She said, "My mother passed away without performing Hajj. Can my performing Hajj on her behalf suffice for her?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! You should perform Hajj on behalf of your mother."
