أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ عَنْ الْعَلَائِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَتَرَکَ مَالًا وَلَمْ يُوصِ فَهَلْ يُکَفِّرُ عَنْهُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3687
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah said that a man said to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم “My father died and left behind wealth, but he did not leave a will. Will it expiate for him if I give charity on his behalf?” He said: “Yes.” (Sahih)
