وَعَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمَّ سَعْدٍ مَاتَتْ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ: «الْمَاءُ» . فَحَفَرَ بِئْرًا وَقَالَ: هَذِهِ لأم سعد. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد وَالنَّسَائِيّ

Translation

Sa‘d ibn ‘Ubādah said: ‘Messenger of Allah, Umm Sa‘d has died. Which charity is best?’ He replied: ‘Water.’ So he dug a well and said, ‘This is for Umm Sa‘d.’ Abu Dawud and al-Nasa’i transmitted it.
