حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي کَرِيمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي أُنيْسَةَ عَنْ زيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَيْرُ مَا يُخَلِّفُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ثَلَاثٌ وَلَدٌ صَالِحٌ يَدْعُو لَهُ وَصَدَقَةٌ تَجْرِي يَبْلُغُهُ أَجْرُهَا وَعِلْمٌ يُعْمَلُ بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ سِنَانٍ الرَّهَاوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ يَعْنِي أَبَاهُ حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ فُلَيْحِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَکَرَ نَحْوَهُ

ابن ماجہ · Hadith 241

‘Abdulldh bin Abi Qatâdah narrated that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah said: ‘The best things that a man can leave behind are three: A righteous son who will pray for him, ongoing charity whose reward will reach him, and knowledge which is acted upon after his death.’” (Hasan) Another chain with similar meaning.
