It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the mother of Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, he was not present with her at that time. Later, he presented himself in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! My mother passed away in my absence, so if I give some charity on her behalf, will she benefit from it? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Yes!”Upon this, he said: Then I make you a witness that I have a garden, and I have given it in charity on her behalf.
