Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلاَثَةٌ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَيَبْقَى وَاحِدٌ عَمَلُهُ " .
Translation
Qutaybah narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Abi Bakr, who said: I heard Anas ibn Malik say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Three things follow the deceased: his family, his wealth, and his deeds. Two return—his family and his wealth—and one remains: his deeds.’
