و حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَائٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذْ أَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَی أُمِّي بِجَارِيَةٍ وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَجَبَ أَجْرُکِ وَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْکِ الْمِيرَاثُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ کَانَ عَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ أَفَأَصُومُ عَنْهَا قَالَ صُومِي عَنْهَا قَالَتْ إِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحُجَّ قَطُّ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهَا قَالَ حُجِّي عَنْهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 2697
Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with them) reported: A woman came to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Messenger of Allah, my mother has died and there is due from her a fast of vow; should I fast on her behalf? Thereupon he said: You see that if your mother had died in debt, would it not have been paid on her behalf? She said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Then observe fast on behalf of your mother.
