حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أُمِّيَ افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّهَا لَوْ تَکَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ فَلِي أَجْرٌ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 4220
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that a person said to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ): My father died and left behind property without making any will regarding it. Would he be relieved of the burden of his sins if I give sadaqa on his behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes.
