Arabic hadith text

قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ، اسْتَفْتَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ فَتُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Al-Harith bin Miskin said—while the report was being read to him and I was listening—that it was transmitted from Sufyan, from al-Zuhri, from Ubaidullah bin Abdullah, from Ibn Abbas, that Sa'd bin Ubadah asked the Prophet about a vow his mother had owed. She died before fulfilling it, so the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Fulfill it on her behalf.’
