حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی التَّمِيمِيُّ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ کِلَاهُمَا عَنْ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ قَالَ يَحْيَی أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِکٍ يَقُولُا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلَاثَةٌ فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَی وَاحِدٌ يَتْبَعُهُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَيَبْقَی عَمَلُهُ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7424
Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: Three things follow the bier of a dead man. Two of them come back and one is left with him: the members of his family, wealth and his good deeds. The members of his family and wealth come back and the deeds alone are left with him.
