that Aa's son of Vayl had made a will to free 100 slaves on his behalf
(after his death). His son Hisham freed 50 slaves, his other son
wanted to free 50 slaves but said first let me ask the Prophet of
Allah (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam). So he went to the Prophet
(Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) and asked, "Ya Rasool Allah! (Oh Prophet
of Allah!) (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) my father had made a will to
free 100 slaves and my brother has freed 50 shall I free the other 50"
Prophet (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) replied, If he (Aa's bin Vayl)
had been Muslim then if you would free them or do charity or perform
pilgrimage it would reach him.
Imam Abu Dawood (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrate that
Saad son of Ubaddah (may Allah be pleased with him) went on holy wars
(gazwaa't) with theProphet (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) and when
hereturned to Madina his mother had passed away. He (Saad) asked the
Prophet of Allah (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam), 'Umm e Saad' meaning my
mother has died which charity [sadqa] is better for her. Prophet
(Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) replied, "Water!" Saad (may Allahbe
pleased with him) dug a well and said this well is Saad's mother (that
is, may its reward go to Saad's mother). (Mishkat)
Imam Muslim (d. 261H) narrates from Ayesha (may Allah be well pleased
with her) said one man came and said "Ya Rasool Allah! (Oh Prophet of
Allah!) (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) my mother has suddenly passed
away and she has made no will. I suppose if she would have got a
chanceto talk she would have given charity (sadqa) so if I give
charity on her behalf would its reward get to her sprit (Ruh)
TheProphet (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) replied, Yes itwill reach her!
Imam Nawawi (d. 676) in his explanation of Muslim (Sharh Muslim) says
this means this narration (hadith) proves that if charity is given for
the dead body its reward gets to the dead. Scholars have consensus on
this.
Imam Nassai (d. 303) narrates from Son of Abbass (may Allah be well
pleased with him) said one woman asked the Prophet (Sallallaho Alihi
Wassallam), my father has passed away and he did not perform
pilgrimage (hajj). Prophet (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) replied
perform pilgrimage from your father (i.e., onhis behalf).
Imam Tibrani (d. 360) and Darul Qatnni (d. 385)narrated that the
Prophet of Allah (Sallallaho Alihi Wassallam) said, whoever passes by
the grave and recites "Qul ho Wallah-ho Ahd…" (Al-Ikhlas Chapter 112)
So the grantor will get the reward equal to the quantity of the dead
bodies.
All these hadith mentioned above are in proof of having a Quran
Khawani "reciting Quran". Also remember that benediction [dua'] is
accepted when the Quran is completed and so several people recite the
Quran in times of calamity and depression and at the end make
benediction for peace.
May Allah save us from the satan and his evil traps. May Allah grant
us paradise in the neighborhood of our beloved Prophet (Sallallaho
Alihi Wassallam), Ameen!
