Recommending (Hadith No. 1171)


Bismillah.
Hadith no. 1169 (below) is a repeat. Read it here.
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 510:
Narrated 'Uqba bin Al-Harith (radiallahu `anhu):
Once the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) offered the 'Asr prayer and then hurriedly went to his house and returned immediately. I (or somebody else) asked him (as to what was the matter) and he said, "I left at home a piece of gold which was from the charity and I disliked to let it remain a night in my house, so I got it distributed. "
Hadith no. 1170 (below) is also a repeat. Read it here (Hadith no. 793).
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 511:
Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallahu `anhu):
The Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) went out for the 'Id prayer on the 'Id day and offered a two Rakat prayer; and he neither offered a prayer before it or after it. Then he went towards the women along with Bilal (radiallahu `anhu). He preached them and ordered them to give in charity. And some (amongst the women) started giving their fore-arm bangles and ear-rings.
Today's Hadith:
Volume 2, Book 24, Number 512:
Narrated Abu Burda bin Abu Musa (radiallahu `anhu):
that his father said, "Whenever a beggar came to Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) or he was asked for something, he used to say (to his companions), "Help and recommend him and you will receive the reward for it; and Allah will bring about what He will through His Prophet's tongue."
Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) would encourage his companions to help the poor. And if they couldn't fulfill the questioner's needs themselves, he would ask them to recommend them to someone else. And the person who recommends gets the same reward as the doer. Allahu Akbar.
This can be taken as a general principle, not just limited to financial help. If someone asks you for help, you help them if it's in your hands. If not, refer them to someone else who can make things easier for them. So even though you did not do the deed yourself, you're entitled to its reward. Because Allah is the Best. <3

Benefiting the Deceased (Hadith No. 1169)


Bismillah.
Narrated Aisha:
A man said to the Prophet (p.b.u.h), "My mother died suddenly and I thought that if she had lived she would have given alms. So, if I give alms now on her behalf, will she get the reward?" The Prophet replied in the affirmative.
Benefits of du`a, charity and Hajj reach the deceased, according to the consensus of scholars.

Du`a

With regard to du’aa’ and praying for forgiveness, Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who came after them say: ‘Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded us in Faith"
[al-Hashr 59:10] 
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Pray for forgiveness for your brother and ask that he be made steadfast, for now he is being questioned.” 
And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“When you offer the (funeral) prayer for the deceased, then make du’aa’ sincerely for him.”

Charity

With regard to charity, it was narrated in al-Saheehayn from ‘Aa’ishah that a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him): “My mother died suddenly and she did not leave a will, but I think that if she could have spoken she would have given in charity. Will she have a reward if I give in charity on her behalf?” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Yes.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, no. 1388; Muslim, no. 1004.  
And it was narrated by al-Bukhaari from Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaadah that his mother died when he was absent, and he said: “O Messenger of Allaah, my mother has died when I was absent. Will it benefit her if I give in charity on her behalf?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “I ask you to bear witness that my garden that bears fruit is given in charity on her behalf.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 2756.

Hajj

With regard to Hajj, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to one who asked him about Hajj: “Don’t you think that if your mother had a debt, you would pay it off for her?” She said: “Yes.” He said: “A debt owed to Allaah is more deserving of being paid off.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6699; Muslim, 1148.
