Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ اسْتَفْتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ، فَتُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ‏.‏ فَأَفْتَاهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ عَنْهَا، فَكَانَتْ سُنَّةً بَعْدُ‏.‏

Translation

Abu al-Yaman narrated to us; Shuaib informed us, from al-Zuhri, who said: Ubaydullah ibn Abdullah informed me that Abdullah ibn Abbas told him that Sad ibn Ubadah al-Ansari asked the Prophet ﷺ for a ruling about a vow his mother had made; she died before fulfilling it. He instructed him to fulfill it on her behalf, and this became an established practice.
