Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the chief of Banu Sa'idah, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him), submitted: "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), my mother has passed away while I was not present with her. If I give something in charity on her behalf, will that charity benefit her?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Yes." Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I make you a witness that my orchard of dates (Mukhraf) is charity on her behalf."
