Blessings of Conveying Reward
my garden in charity on her behalf.”[1]
It has been stated in another narration:
Sayyidunā SaꜤd رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ asked the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم: “O Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم! The mother of SaꜤd has passed away (I would like to give something in charity in order to convey Reward)[2] so which charity is better?”
The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم replied: “Water [as there was a shortage of water and it was greatly needed].”.[3] So, Sayyiduna SaꜤd رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ had a well dug and said:
هَذِهِ لِاُمِّ سَعْدٍ
“This well is for Sa’d’s mother (i.e. for conveying Reward to her soul).” [4]
Mufti Aḥmad Yār Khan NāꜤīmī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه writes:

Some people arrange water stalls for water especially in those hot and dry areas where there is a shortage of water. Muslims place water along with other things in Khatam, Fatihah, etc. This blessed hadith is the origin of all this. We learn from this that giving water in charity is better.[5]
