English translation

[2697] 157 - (1149) It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin Buraidah that his father [may Allāh be pleased with them] said: “While I was sitting with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, a woman came to him and said: 'I gave a slave woman in charity to my mother, then she died.' He said: 'Your reward is assured, and she (the slave woman) has been returned to you as an inheritance.' She said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, she owed one month's fasting, should I fast on her behalf?' He said: 'Fast on her behalf.' She said: She never went for Hajj, should I perform Hajj on her behalf? He said: 'Perform Hajj on her behalf.'"

Arabic text

157 - (1149) وحَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ أَتَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ، فَقَالَتْ: إِنِّي تَصَدَّقْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي بِجَارِيَةٍ، وَإِنَّهَا مَاتَتْ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «وَجَبَ أَجْرُكِ، وَرَدَّهَا عَلَيْكِ الْمِيرَاثُ» قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّهُ كَانَ عَلَيْهَا صَوْمُ شَهْرٍ، أَفَأَصُومُ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: «صُومِي عَنْهَا» قَالَتْ: إِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحُجَّ قَطُّ، أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: «حُجِّي عَنْهَا»
