Narated By Ibn 'Abbas RA : The mother of Sad bin 'Ubada RA died in his absence. He said, "O Allah's Apostle PBUH! My mother died in my absence; will it be of any benefit for her if I give Sadaqa on her behalf?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Sad said, "I make you a witness that I gave my garden called Al Makhraf in charity on her behalf."
