Chapter: Dutifulness to Parents After Their Death
Hadith 35
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْغَسِيلِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أُسَيْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَلْ بَقِيَ مِنْ بِرِّ أَبَوَيَّ شَيْءٌ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا أَبَرُّهُمَا؟ قَالَ: ”نَعَمْ، خِصَالٌ أَرْبَعٌ: الدُّعَاءُ لَهُمَا، وَالِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمَا، وَإِنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا، وَإِكْرَامُ صَدِيقِهِمَا، وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الَّتِي لاَ رَحِمَ لَكَ إِلاَّ مِنْ قِبَلِهِمَا.“
Abu Usaid (Sayyiduna Malik bin Rabi’ah) رضي الله عنه, while narrating to his people, said: We were with the Noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم one day when a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Is there anything left by which I can show kindness to my parents after their death? The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Yes! There are four things: praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their bequests, honoring and respecting their friends, and maintaining the ties of kinship that are connected only through the parents.”
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.
Hadith 37
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَلاَّمُ بْنُ أَبِي مُطِيعٍ، عَنْ غَالِبٍ قَالَ: قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ لَيْلَةً، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، وَلِأُمِّي، وَلِمَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمَا قَالَ لِي مُحَمَّدٌ: فَنَحْنُ نَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُمَا حَتَّى نَدْخُلَ فِي دَعْوَةِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ.
Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that we were with Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) one night, and he made this supplication: "O Allah! Forgive Abu Hurairah and his mother, and also pardon anyone who seeks forgiveness for both of them." Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) says that we used to seek forgiveness for both of them so that we might become deserving of the supplication of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him).
Hadith 38
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْعَلاَءُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”إِذَا مَاتَ الْعَبْدُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثٍ: صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a servant dies, all his deeds come to an end except for three things (from which he continues to benefit): ongoing charity, knowledge from which benefit is derived, or a righteous (believing) child who prays for him."
Hadith 39
حَدَّثَنَا يَسَرَةُ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ أُمِّي تُوُفِّيَتْ وَلَمْ تُوصِ، أَفَيَنْفَعُهَا أَنْ أَتَصَدَّقَ عَنْهَا؟ قَالَ: ”نَعَمْ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) that a man said: O Messenger of Allah! Indeed, my mother has passed away and she did not make any will. If I give charity on her behalf, will it benefit her? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes."
