Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَلَمْ تُوصِ وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ لَتَصَدَّقَتْ فَلَهَا أَجْرٌ إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا وَلِيَ أَجْرٌ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Isḥāq ibn Manṣūr narrated to us: Abū Usāmah narrated to us, from Hishām ibn ʿUrwah, from his father, from ʿĀʾishah, that a man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: “My mother died suddenly without making a bequest. I think that if she could have spoken, she would have given charity. Will she have a reward if I give charity on her behalf, and will I have a reward?” He said, “Yes.”
