It is narrated from Sharjeel bin Saeed bin Saad bin Ubadah that Sayyiduna Saad bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) went out for jihad with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). His mother was about to die in Madinah. People said to her: Make a will. She said: What should I bequeath? The wealth belongs to Sayyiduna Saad (may Allah be pleased with him). Then she died before Sayyiduna Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) returned. When Sayyiduna Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) came, people informed him. Sayyiduna Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): If I give charity on behalf of my mother for the sake of Allah, will she benefit from it? The Messenger of Allah said: "Yes." Then Sayyiduna Saad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Such and such gardens are charity on behalf of my mother.
