Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Ahmad ibn Mani told us: Rawh ibn Ubadah told us: Zakariyya ibn Ishaq told us: Amr ibn Dinar told me, from Ikrimah, from Ibn Abbas, that a man said: Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. Will it benefit her if I give charity on her behalf? He replied: ‘Yes.’ The man said: I have an orchard, and I call you to witness that I have given it in charity on her behalf. Abu Isa said: This is a hasan hadith, and scholars hold this view. They say that nothing reaches the deceased except charity and supplication. Some narrators reported this hadith from Amr ibn Dinar, from Ikrimah, from the Prophet, without mentioning an intermediary Companion. The phrase ‘I have an orchard’ means ‘I have a garden.’
