What did the Prophet (saw) say to Sa`d when he asked whether giving Sadaqa on behalf of his deceased mother would benefit her?
 Narrated Ibn `Abbas:                     The mother of Sa`d bin 'Ubada died in his absence. He said, "O Allah's Apostle! 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," Sa`d said, "I make you a witness that I gave my garden called Al Makhraf in charity on her behalf."
