حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ إِسْمَعِيلَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَلَوْلَا ذَلِکَ لَتَصَدَّقَتْ وَأَعْطَتْ أَفَيُجْزِئُ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَعَمْ فَتَصَدَّقِي عَنْهَا
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 2881
Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: A woman said: Messenger of Allah, my mother suddenly died; if it had not happened, she would have given sadaqah (charity) and donated (something). Will it suffice if I give sadaqah on her behalf? The Prophet ﷺ said: Yes, give sadaqah on her behalf.
