Sunan an-Nasai 3660 (Book 30, Hadith 50) #18274
Fulfilling Vows After Death

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad advised Sa'd bin 'Ubadah to fulfill a vow his mother had made before her death.

It was narrated that Al-Harith bin Miskin said, it being read to him while I was listening: "From Sufyan, from Az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaidullah bin 'Abdullah, from Ibn 'Abbas, that Sa'd bin 'Ubadah consulted the Prophet about a vow which his mother had to fulfill, but she died before doing so. The Messenger of Allah said: 'Fulfill it on her behalf'."
قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ عُبَادَةَ، اسْتَفْتَى النَّبِيَّ فِي نَذْرٍ كَانَ عَلَى أُمِّهِ فَتُوُفِّيَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اقْضِهِ عَنْهَا

QUICK LESSONS:
Honor commitments & promises even after death .
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about fulfilling a vow after the death of the person who made it. In this case, Sa’d bin ‘Ubadah consulted the Prophet Muhammad about a vow his mother had made but died before she could fulfill it. The Prophet advised him to fulfill it on her behalf as an act of kindness and mercy towards her. This teaches us that even after someone has passed away we should still honor their commitments and promises they have made in life as an act of respect for them and their memory. It also shows us how important it is to keep our promises even if we are no longer alive to do so ourselves.
