أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ عَنْ هِشَامٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ قَالَ قُلْتُيَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي مَاتَتْ أَفَأَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ قَالَ سَقْيُ الْمَاءِ

Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Al Mubarak] berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Waki'] dari [Hisyam] dari [Qatadah] dari [Sa'id bin Al Musayyab] dari [Sa'd bin 'Ubadah] berkata, "Aku berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, sesungguhnya ibuku meninggal, bolehkah aku bersedekah untuknya?" Beliau menjawab: "Ya." Aku lalu bertanya, "Sedekah apakah yang paling utama?" Beliau menjawab: "Memberi minum air."
About Sunan an-Nasa'i
Born
215 AH / 829 CE — Nasa, Turkmenistan
Died
303 AH / 915 CE
Imam an-Nasa'i applied the strictest conditions of all Sunan compilers. He first wrote a larger collection (as-Sunan al-Kubra) then condensed it into al-Mujtaba. He was particularly rigorous in identifying weaknesses in narrator chains, resulting in a collection of very high reliability.
An-Nasa'i's conditions for accepting narrators were stricter than those of Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi, making al-Mujtaba one of the most critically refined of the Sunan collections.
