1678. WHAT FOLLOWS A PERSON AFTER HIS DEATH

5886.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : يَتبَعُ المَيّتَ ثلاثةٌ : أهلُهُ ومالُهُ وعمَلُهُ ، فيَرجِعُ اثنانِ ويَبقى‏ واحِدٌ ؛ يَرجِعُ أهلُهُ ومالُهُ ، ويَبقى‏ عَمَلُهُ .¹

5886.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Three things follow a dead person: his family, his wealth and his actions. Two go back and one stays: his family and wealth go back and his actions stay [with him].' ²

5887.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : سِتّةٌ يَلحَقنَ المؤمنَ بعدَ وَفاتِهِ : ولدٌ يَستَغفِرُ لَهُ ، ومصحَفٌ يُخَلِّفُهُ ، وغَرسٌ يَغرِسُهُ ، وصَدَقَةُ ماءٍ يُجريهِ، وقَليبٌ يَحفِرُهُ ، وسُنّةٌ يُؤخَذُ بها مِن بَعدِهِ .³

5887.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Six things benefit a person after he passes away: a child who seeks forgiveness for him, a copy of the Qur'an which he leaves behind, a plant that he planted, water that he donated in charity, a well that he had dug, and a tradition that others take from him and [practise] after him.' ⁴
