The Struggle (in the Cause of Allah)
العاشر عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلاَثَةٌ: أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ؛ فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ ويبقى واحد: يرجع أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُهُ ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ)).
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Three follow a dead body: members of his family, his possessions and his deeds. Two of them return and one remains with him. His family and his possessions return; his deeds remain with him". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
