Translation

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reported: Sa‘d ibn Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) about a vow his mother had made, but she died before fulfilling it. He replied, ‘Fulfill it on her behalf.’ They agreed upon it. It is authentic; al-Bukhari transmitted it (2761), and Muslim (1638).
