اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ ، أَنَّ أُمَّهُ مَاتَتْ ، فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " سَقْيُ الْمَاءِ " ، قَالَ : فَتِلْكَ سِقَايَةُ آلِ سَعْدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : فَقُلْتُ لِقَتَادَةَ : مَنْ يَقُولُ تِلْكَ سِقَايَةُ آلِ سَعْدٍ ؟ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that his mother passed away, so he submitted to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! My mother has passed away. Can I give charity on her behalf?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!" He asked, "Then which charity is the best?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Providing water." The narrator says that this is the real reason for the family of Sa'd providing water in Madinah Munawwarah.
