Sahih al-Bukhari 2762 (Book 55, Hadith 25) #2641
Benefits of Giving Charity on Behalf of the Deceased

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) affirmed that giving charity on behalf of a deceased person is beneficial for them.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: That the mother of Sa'd bin Ubada the brother of Bani Saida died in Sa'd's absence, so he came to the Prophet saying, "O Allah's Messenger ! My mother died in my absence, will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?" The Prophet said, "Yes". Sa'd said, "I take you as my witness that I give my garden Al-Makhraf in charity on her behalf".
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ، أَخْبَرَهُمْ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يَعْلَى، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عِكْرِمَةَ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ أَخَا بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ تُوُفِّيَتْ أُمُّهُ وَهْوَ غَائِبٌ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي تُوُفِّيَتْ وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ عَنْهَا، فَهَلْ يَنْفَعُهَا شَىْءٌ إِنْ تَصَدَّقْتُ بِهِ عَنْهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ نَعَمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ حَائِطِي الْمِخْرَافَ صَدَقَةٌ عَلَيْهَا‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates the story of Sa'd bin Ubada, whose mother passed away in his absence. He asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ if it would benefit her if he gave charity on her behalf, to which the Prophet ﷺ replied in affirmation. Sa'd then took the Prophet ﷺ as witness and gave his garden Al-Makhraf in charity on her behalf. This hadith teaches us that giving charity on behalf of a deceased person is beneficial for them and can be done as an act of kindness towards them even after their death. It also shows us how important it was for Sa'd to do something good for his mother even though she was no longer alive, which speaks volumes about how much he loved and respected her. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to be generous with our wealth and use it to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves, both during our lifetime and after we have passed away.
