Chapter Introduction

١٥١ - باب فى الصدقة عن الميت والدعاء له
الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ الحَشۡرِ (59:9)
وَالَّذِينَ تَبَوَّءُوا الدَّارَ وَالْإِيمَانَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَلَا يَجِدُونَ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ حَاجَةً مِّمَّا أُوتُوا وَيُؤْثِرُونَ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَلَوْ كَانَ بِهِمْ خَصَاصَةٌ ۚ وَمَن يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولَٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ
( سُورَةُ الحَشۡرِ (59:9) )

Translation: Allah said:

Translation: " And (it is also for) those who, before them, had homes (in Madina) and had adopted Faith, love those who emigrated to them, and have no jealousy in their breasts for what they have been given (from Al Fay ' of Bano Al-Nadheer), and give them (emigrants) preference over themselves even though they were in need of that. And whosoever is saved from his own covetousness, such are they who will be the successful. * " * (59: 9)

٤٨٦ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : : إِذَا مَاتَ الإِنََََّّّّْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمله ، إِلا مِن ثَلاثَة : إِلا مِن صَدَقَة جَارِيَةٍ ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنتَفَعُ بِهِ ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالَحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ * رَوَاهُ مُسْلِم

486. Narrated by Abu-Huraira: ' Allah's Messenger said: " When the son of Adam dies no further reward is recorded for his actions, with three exceptions: charity whose benefit is continuous, knowledge from which benefit continues to be reaped, or the supplication of a righteous son (for him).

٤٨٧- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مِنْيعٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةً حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَجُلَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهُ ) . إِنَّ أُمِّي تُوُفِّيَتْ أَفَيَنْفَعُهَا إِن تَصَدَّقْتُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنَّ لِي مَخْرَفًا فَأَشْهِدُكَ أَنِّي قَدْ عَنْهَا قَالَ أَبو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ شَيْءٌ يَصِلُ إِلَى الْمَيِّتِ إِلَّا الصَّدَقَةُ وَالٍدُّعَاءُ وَقَدْ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيََََُُِِّّّّّّّّ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْسَلَا قَالَ وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ إِنَّ لِي مَخْرَفًا يَعْنِي بُسْتَانًا

Translation: 487. Narrated Ibn Abbas: ' A man said: " O Messenger of Allah! My mother has passed away. Will it benefit her if I pay charity on her behalf? " He said: " Yes. " He said: " Indeed, I have a garden and I make you a witness that I have given it as Sadaqah on her behalf. " " "

Abu-Issa said: " This Hadith is Hasan and the people of knowledge act in accordance with it. They said: ' Nothing reaches the deceased except charity and praying unto Allah on his behalf. " "
