Hadith 3696
أَخْبَرَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ ، أَنَّ أُمَّهُ مَاتَتْ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ ؟ قَالَ : " سَقْيُ الْمَاءِ " , فَتِلْكَ سِقَايَةُ سَعْدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ .
´It was narrated from Sa'd bin 'Ubadah that his mother died. He said:` "O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died; can I give charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." He said: "What kind of charity is best?" He said: "Providing drinking water." And that is the drinking-fountain of Sa'd in Al-Madinah.
