CHARITY GIVEN ON BEHALF OF THE DECEASED H 961 "A man said to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, 'My mother died suddenly. I believe that if she had the chance to speak she would have given away something in charity. Would it be counted as a meritorious act for her if I gave away something in charity on her behalf?' He answered, 'Yes.'" R 961 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Lady Ayesha the wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, Mother of the believers related this.
948- وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها : أنَّ رجلاً قَالَ للنبيِّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : إنَّ أُمِّي افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَأُرَاهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ ، فَهَلْ لَهَا أجْرٌ إنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا ؟ قَالَ : "نَعَمْ" متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ .
