أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْقَيْسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى ، حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " مَنْ نَسِيَ صَلاةً ، فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا ، لا كَفَّارَةَ لَهَا إِلا ذَلِكَ " قَالَ : أَبُو حَاتِمٍ : فِي قَوْلِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " فَلْيُصَلِّهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا ، لا كَفَّارَةَ لَهَا إِلا ذَلِكَ " دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الصَّلاةَ لَوْ أَدَّاهَا عَنْهُ غَيْرُهُ لَمْ تُجْزِ عَنْهُ ، إِذِ الْمُصْطَفَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لا كَفَّارَةَ لَهَا إِلا ذَلِكَ " ، يُرِيدُ إِلا أَنْ يُصَلِّيَهَا إِذَا ذَكَرَهَا ، وَفِيهِ دَلِيلٌ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمَيِّتَ إِذَا مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صَلَوَاتٌ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَدَائِهَا فِي عِلَّتِهِ لَمْ يَجُزْ أَنْ يُعْطَى الْفُقَرَاءَ عَنْ تِلْكَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْحِنْطَةَ ، وَلا غَيْرَهَا مِنْ سَائِرِ الأَطْعِمَةِ وَالأَشْيَاءِ .
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him: "Whoever forgets to perform a prayer, then when he remembers it, he should perform it; its expiation is only this." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, "when he remembers it, he should perform it; its expiation is only this," contains evidence that if another person performs the prayer on his behalf, it will not be valid, because the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "because its expiation is only this." By this, the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, meant that its expiation is that when he remembers it, he himself should perform it. This contains evidence that if a person dies and there are some prayers due upon him which he could not perform during his illness, then it will not be permissible to give wheat to the poor in exchange for those prayers, or to give any other grain or anything else.
