Sahih al-Bukhari
Sahih al-Bukhari 1852
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي بِشْرٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ جَاءَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ أُمِّي نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ، فَلَمْ تَحُجَّ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهَا قَالَ " نَعَمْ. حُجِّي عَنْهَا، أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ أَكُنْتِ قَاضِيَةً اقْضُوا اللَّهَ، فَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَاءِ ".
Musa ibn Ismail narrated to us; Abu Awana narrated to us, from Abu Bishr, from Said ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that a woman from Juhayna came to the Prophet and said: My mother vowed to perform Hajj, but she died before doing so. Should I perform Hajj on her behalf? He said: Yes, perform Hajj on her behalf. He then asked: If your mother had owed a debt, would you have paid it? Pay the debt owed to Allah, for Allah is more deserving that His due be fulfilled.
