بَابُ بِرِّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَاChapter: Dutifulness to Parents After Their Death
Hadith 36
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: تُرْفَعُ لِلْمَيِّتِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ دَرَجَتُهُ. فَيَقُولُ: أَيْ رَبِّ، أَيُّ شَيْءٍ هَذِهِ؟ فَيُقَالُ:” وَلَدُكَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَكَ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The ranks of the deceased are elevated after his death, so he asks: O my Lord! On what account has my rank been elevated? It is said to him: Your child sought forgiveness for you.
