English Translation
Ibn Abbas narrated: A man came to the Prophet ♂ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, my mother died and she had the obligation to fast a month. Shall I fulfill it on her behalf?" He said: "If your mother had a debt, would you pay it for her?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then the debt owed to Allah is more deserving of being fulfilled." Sulayman (al-A'mash) said: Al-Hakam and Salamah ibn Kuhayl said - and we were all sitting together when Muslim (al-Batin) narrated this hadith - "We heard Mujahid mentioning this hadith from Ibn Abbas."
