أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَا ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ أنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَحَضَرَتْ أُمَّ سَعْدٍ الْوَفَاةُ فَقِيلَ لَهَا أَوْصِي فَقَالَتْ فِيمَ أُوصِي؟ إِنَّمَا الْمَالُ مَالُ سَعْدٍ فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْدَمَ سَعْدٌ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ سَعْدٌ فَخُبِّرَ بِالَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ أُمِّهِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِالَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِ أُمِّهِ وَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ حَائِطُ كَذَا وَكَذَا سَمَّاهُ صَدَقَةٌ عَنْهَا
English Translation
Sa'd ibn Ubadah was with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on one of his campaigns when death came to Umm Sa'd. She was told: 'Make a bequest.' She said: 'What shall I bequeath? The wealth belongs to Sa'd.' She died before Sa'd returned. When Sa'd came back and was informed about his mother's situation, he came to the Prophet (peace be upon him), told him what had happened with his mother, and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will it benefit her if I give charity on her behalf?' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Yes.' So Sa'd said: 'Such-and-such orchard - he named it - is charity on her behalf.'
