(8) باب فَضْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنِ الْمَيِّتِ
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that a man said:
"O Messenger of Allah, my mother died; will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?" He said: "Yes." He said: "I have a garden and I ask you to bear witness that I am giving it in charity on her behalf."
