[2694] 155 – ( … ) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs [may Allah be pleased with them] said: "A man came to the Prophet and said: '0 Messenger of Allah, my mother has died and she owed one month's fasting. Shall I make it up on her behalf?' He said: 'Don't you think that if your mother owed a debt, you would pay it off on her behalf?' He said: 'Yes.' He said: 'The debt owed to Allah is more deserving of being paid off." (One of the narrators) Sulaimân said: "When we were sitting and Muslim 11 narrated this IjadIti, Al-Hakam and Salamah bin Kuhail both said: 'We heard Mujâhid quote this from Ibn 'Abbâs." Ill That is, Muslim Al-BatIn, one of the narrators, not the author.
