قَالَ رَسولُ الله صل الله عليه وسلم:
إِذَا مَاتَ الإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَمَلُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثٍ: صَدَقَةٌ جَارِيَةٌ وَعِلْمٌ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ وَوَلَدٌ صَالِحٌ يَدْعُو لَهُ
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ says, When a person dies, then all his deeds come to an end except for three:
1 - A continuous charity
2 - Knowledge left behind that continues to benefit
3 - A righteous child who prays for him
(Sahih Muslim)
This hadith teaches us a number of lessons:
To do good to parents even after their deaths by supplicating for them.
To teach beneficial knowledge and spread it among the people.
To invest in charities that will continue to provide benefit even after death.
To raise righteous children so that they may benefit us after death when we will not be able to do anything for ourselves.
