Hadith 428
اَخْبَرَنَا الْمُصْعَبُ بْنُ الْمَقْدَمِ، نَا زَائِدَةُ، عَنِ الْاَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ الْبَطِّیْنِ، عَنْ سَعِیْدِ بْنِ جُبَیْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، اَنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ اِلَی النَّبِیِّ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: اِنَّ اُمِّیْ مَاتَتْ وَعَلَیْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ، اَفَاَقْضِیْ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: اَرَأَیْتَ لَوْ کَانَ عَلٰی اُمِّكَ دَیْنٌ اَکُنْتَ قَاضِیْهِ؟ فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: فَدَیْنُ اللّٰهِ اَحَقُّ اَنْ یُّقْضٰی عَنْهَا۔ قَالَ سُلَیْمَانُ: فَقَالَ: اَلْحَکَمُ، وَسَلَمَةُ بْنُ کُهَیْلِ وَنَحْنُ جُلُوْسٌ جَمِیْعًا حِیْنَ حَدَّثَ مُسْلِمٌ بِهَذَا الْحَدِیْثِ، فَقَالَا: سَمِعْنَا مُجَاهِدًا یَذْکُرُ ذٰلِكَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "My mother has passed away, and she had a month of fasting due upon her. Should I fulfill it on her behalf?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Tell me! If your mother had a debt, would you pay it off?" He replied: "Yes!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then Allah's debt is more deserving to be fulfilled."
