Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ أَنَّ أُمَّهُ مَاتَتْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُول
َ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ فَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ سَقْيُ الْمَاءِ قَالَ فَتِلْكَ سِقَايَةُ آلِ سَعْدٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Sa'd ibn 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that his mother passed away. He said: 'O Messenger of Allah, my mother has died. May I give charity on her behalf?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Then what charity is best?' He said: 'Providing water.' And that is the water trough of the family of Sa'd in Madinah.
