أَخْبَرَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ کَثِيرٍ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ أَنَّهُ أَتَی النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا نَذْرٌ أَفَيُجْزِئُ عَنْهَا أَنْ أُعْتِقَ عَنْهَا قَالَ أَعْتِقْ عَنْ أُمِّکَ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3691
It was narrated from Saad bin ‘Ubadah that he came to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and said: “My mother has died and she had a vow to fulfill. Will it suffice if I free a slave on her behalf?” He said: “Free a slave on behalf of your mother.” (Sahih)
