Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that a person said to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ)
My father died and left behind property without making any will regarding it. Would he be relieved of the burden of his sins if I give sadaqa on his behalf? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that a man said to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ)
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.
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that a man came to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and said
