What they said: supplication reaches a man and his child

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made supplication for a man, it would reach him, his children and his grandchildren.

Yahya bin Sa'id said that Sa'id bin al-Musayyib said: "Indeed, a man's rank is raised after his death because of his child's supplication."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, a man's rank in Paradise is raised, and he says: 'My Lord, how was this rank given to me?' It is said: 'It was given through your son's seeking forgiveness.'"
