Three Actions that Continue after Passing Away

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم إذا مات ابن آدم انقطع عمله إلا من ثلاث صدقة جارية أو علم ينتفع به أو ولد صالح يدعو له رواه مسلم وغيره (الترغيب والترهيب 1/128)

Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “When a person passes away, all his actions come to an end (he is unable to carry out actions thereby earning reward) except for three actions; sadaqah jaariyah, knowledge from which people benefit, or a pious child that makes duaa for him.”
