Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ سَعْدًا، سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ وَلَمْ تُوصِ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ " نَعَمْ ".
Translation
It was narrated from Ibn Abbas that Sa'd asked the Prophet: ‘My mother died without making a bequest. Should I give charity on her behalf?’ He replied, ‘Yes.’
