حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْثَرُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، عَنْ أَشْعَثَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ مَاتَ وَعَلَيْهِ صِيَامُ شَهْرٍ فَلْيُطْعَمْ عَنْهُ مَكَانَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِسْكِينًا " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ مَرْفُوعًا إِلَّا مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ، وَالصَّحِيحُ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ مَوْقُوفٌ قَوْلُهُ ، وَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي هَذَا الْبَاب ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ ، يُصَامُ عَنِ الْمَيِّتِ ، وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَإِسْحَاق ، قَالَا : إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ نَذْرُ صِيَامٍ يَصُومُ عَنْهُ ، وَإِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءُ رَمَضَانَ أَطْعَمَ عَنْهُ ، وقَالَ مَالِكٌ ، وَسُفْيَانُ ، وَالشَّافِعِيُّ : لَا يَصُومُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ ، قَالَ : وَأَشْعَثُ هُوَ ابْنُ سَوَّارٍ ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ هُوَ عِنْدِي ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى .
´Ibn Umar narrated that :` the Prophet said: "Whoever died while he had a month to fast, then a needy person should be fed on his behalf in place of every day."
