3847. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "A woman traveled by sea and vowed to fast for a month, but she died before she could fast. Her sister came to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about that, and he told her to fast on her behalf." (Sahih)
3816 - أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سُلَيْمَانَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: رَكِبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ الْبَحْرَ فَنَذَرَتْ أَنْ تَصُومَ شَهْرًا فَمَاتَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَصُومَ، فَأَتَتْ أُخْتُهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَذَكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، «فَأَمَرَهَا أَنْ تَصُومَ عَنْهَا»
