Sahih Muslim 1004c (Book 25, Hadith 17) #11327
Charity on Behalf of Deceased

SUMMARY: A man asked the Prophet if he would be rewarded for giving charity on behalf of his deceased mother. The Prophet said yes.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that a man said to Allah's Apostle : My mother died all of a sudden, and I think if she (could have the opportunity) to speak she would have (made a will) regarding Sadaqa'. Will I be entitled to reward if I give charity on her behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes.
حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنَّ أُمِّيَ افْتُلِتَتْ نَفْسُهَا وَإِنِّي أَظُنُّهَا لَوْ تَكَلَّمَتْ تَصَدَّقَتْ فَلِيَ أَجْرٌ أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Give charity generously and selflessly while you are alive so it may continue to benefit you even after death.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of charity and how it can benefit those who are no longer alive. It is narrated by A'isha, a wife of the Prophet Muhammad, that a man asked him if he would receive reward for giving charity on behalf of his deceased mother. The Prophet answered in the affirmative, saying that he will indeed receive reward for this act. This hadith teaches us that even after death, our good deeds can still benefit us and our loved ones in many ways. It also encourages us to give charity as much as we can while we are alive so that it may continue to benefit us even after we have passed away from this world.
