Chapter: A Person Dies Owing Fasts
Hadith 1806
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَصُومَ، فَمَاتَتْ، فَجَاءَ أَخُوهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتَ قَاضِيَهُ ؟"قَالَ: نَعَمْ . قَالَ: "فَاقْضُوا اللَّهَ، فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَاءِ" . قَالَ: فَصَامَ عَنْهَا.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a woman made a vow to perform Hajj but she passed away. Her brother came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about this matter. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "If she had a debt, would you pay it off?" He replied: Yes. He said: "Fulfill Allah’s debt, for Allah is more deserving of fulfillment." The narrator said: So the brother fasted on behalf of his sister.
