A woman came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "My mother vowed to perform the Hajj but she died before
performing it. Should I perform the Hajj on her behalf?" He said, "Yes! Perform the Hajj on her
behalf. See, if your mother had been in debt, would you have paid her debt?" She said, "Yes." He said,
"So you should pay what is for Him as Allah has more right that one should fulfill one's obligations to
Him. "
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 96, Hadith 46

Prophet said, "What color are they?" The bedouin said, "They are red." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Are any of
them Grey?" He said, "There are Grey ones among them." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whence do you think
this color came to them?" The bedouin said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! It resulted from hereditary
disposition." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "And this (i.e., your child) has inherited his color from his ancestors."
