عَن أَبي عَبدِ الله عليه السلام قالَ:
سِتُّ خِصالٍ يَنتَفِعُ بِهَا ال مُؤمِنُ بَعدَ مَوتِهِ: وَلَدٌ صالِـحٌ يَستَغفِـرُ لَهُ، وَ مُصحَفٌ يُقرَأ فيهِ، وَ قَليـبٌ يَحفِـرُهُ، وَغَـر سٌ يَغرِسُـهُ، وَ صَدَقَةُ ماءٍ يُجريهِ، وَ سُنَّةٌ حَسَنَةٌ يُؤخَذُ بِها بَعدَهُ.
Imam as-Sadiq (‘a) said: “There are six things that a Muslim believer can be profited by after his death:
-
A righteous child who seeks forgiveness for him.
-
The Holy scripture which will be recited from.
-
A well which he had dug (for the benefit of people).
-
The tree which he had planted.
-
The charity of water that he had caused to flow.
-
A good tradition which will be followed (by people) after him.”
