Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ، سَمِعَ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهُ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلاَثَةٌ، فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَى مَعَهُ وَاحِدٌ، يَتْبَعُهُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُهُ ‏"‏‏.‏

Translation

Al-Humaydi narrated to us; Sufyan narrated to us; Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr ibn Amr ibn Hazm narrated to us; he heard Anas ibn Malik say that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Three things follow the deceased: two return and one remains with him. His family, his wealth, and his deeds follow him; his family and wealth return, while his deeds remain.’
