Sahih Muslim 1631
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ، وَقُتَيْبَةُ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ - وَابْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - هُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " إِذَا مَاتَ الإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ ثَلاَثَةٍ إِلاَّ مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ " .
Yahya ibn Ayyub, Qutaybah—meaning Ibn Said—and Ibn Hujr narrated to us; they said: Ismail—namely Ibn Jafar—narrated to us from al-Ala, from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge from which benefit is gained, or a righteous child who prays for him.'
