2379. Anas bin Mālik narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Three follow the deceased, two of them return, and one remains. He is followed by his family, his wealth, and his deeds. So his family and his wealth returns, and his deeds remain." (Sahih) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.

٢٣٧٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ ، عَنْ ‌سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ هُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ‌أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلَاثٌ، فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَى وَاحِدٌ، يَتْبَعُهُ أَهْلُهُ» وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُهُ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Three things connected with man in the world keep him company until he is taken for burial. His children and servants etc. accompany him right up to the grave. All connections with his family and wealth are, however, severed the moment he is buried. What remain with him in the grave are his deeds for which he will be questioned.
