Riyad as-Salihin: Book 6, Hadith 55

‘Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: A man said to the Prophet (ﷺ): “My mother has died suddenly. I think that if she were able to talk (alive) she would have given in Sadaqah (charity). So, if I give Sadaqah now on her behalf, will she get the reward?” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Yes (she will be rewarded for that).”.

وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها أن رجلاً قال للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏:‏ إن أمي افتلتت نفسها وأراها لو تكلمت، تصدقت، فهل لها أجر إن تصدقت عنها‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏
“‏نعم‏”‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏
