وَعَنْهُ: { أَنَّ اِمْرَأَةً مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ جَاءَتْ إِلَى اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فَقَالَتْ: إِنَّ أُمِّي نَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَحُجَّ, فَلَمْ تَحُجَّ حَتَّى مَاتَتْ, أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهَا? قَالَ: " نَعَمْ ", حُجِّي عَنْهَا, أَرَأَيْتِ لَوْ 1 كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّكِ دَيْنٌ, أَكُنْتِ قَاضِيَتَهُ? اِقْضُوا اَللَّهَ, فَاَللَّهُ أَحَقُّ بِالْوَفَاءِ } رَوَاهُ اَلْبُخَارِيُّ 2 .1 - كذا هو في الأصل، وفي " الصحيح " والمطبوع، والشرح. وتحرف في " أ " إلى: " إن ".2 - صحيح. رواه البخاري ( 1852 ).
He reported: A woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet and said, “My mother vowed to perform Hajj but died before doing so. May I perform it on her behalf?” He replied, “Yes, perform Hajj on her behalf. What do you think: if your mother owed a debt, would you repay it?” She said yes. He said, “Then fulfill what is owed to Allah, for Allah is more deserving that the obligation be fulfilled.” Al-Bukhari transmitted it.
The editor notes that the wording “if” appears in the source text, the Sahih, the printed edition, and the commentary; manuscript A corrupted it to “that.” The editor grades it authentic and cites al-Bukhari, no. 1852.
