English translation

3848. It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that Sa'd bin 'Ubādah asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about a vow which his mother had sworn, but she died before she could fulfill it. He said: "Fulfill it on her behalf." (Sahih)

Arabic text

3817 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ، قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ: أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ اسْتَفْتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ تُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ، فَقَالَ: «اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا»

Commentary

There is no clarification what that vow was for. Some venerable persons have derived an inference from a narration that it was a vow for freeing a slave. But in this report also, there is no elucidation that this vow was for the emancipation of a slave.
