58ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): يَتبَعُ المَيّتَ ثلاثةٌ: أهلُهُ ومالُهُ وعمَلُهُ، فيَرجِعُ اثنانِ ويَبقى واحِدٌ ؛ يَرجِعُ أهلُهُ ومالُهُ، ويَبقى عَمَلُهُ. |

59ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): سِتّةٌ يَلحَقنَ المؤمنَ بعدَ وَفاتِهِ: ولدٌ يَستَغفِرُ لَهُ، ومصحَفٌ يُخَلِّفُهُ، وغَرسٌ يَغرِسُهُ، وصَدَقَةُ ماءٍ يُجريهِ، وقَليبٌ يَحفِرُهُ، وسُنّةٌ يُؤخَذُ بها مِن بَعدِهِ. |
59– 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.’[al-Faqih, v. 1, p. 185, no. 555] |
