Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Karīmah al-Ḥarrānī narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥīm, who narrated to me from Zayd ibn Abī Unaysah, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Qatādah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The best things a man leaves behind are three: a righteous child who prays for him, a continuing charity whose reward reaches him, and knowledge that is acted upon after him.” Abū al-Ḥasan said: Abū Ḥātim narrated to us: Muḥammad ibn Yazīd ibn Sinān al-Rahāwī narrated to us: Yazīd ibn Sinān—that is, his father—narrated to us: Zayd ibn Abī Unaysah narrated to me, from Fulayḥ ibn Sulaymān, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Abī Qatādah, from his father, who said: I heard the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and he mentioned a similar report.
