Hadith 2501

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْلَى وَهُوَ ابْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، أَنَّ عِكْرِمَةَ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ : أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ أَخَا بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ أُمِّي تُوُفِّيَتْ ، وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ ، فَهَلْ يَنْفَعُهَا إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا بِشَيْءٍ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ حَائِطِي الَّذِي بِالْمِخْرَافِ صَدَقَةٌ عَنْهَا .
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."
