601 يتبع الميت ثلاثة: أهلُه ومالُه وعملُه، فيرجع اثنان ويَبقى واحد: يرجع أهلُه ومالُه، ويَبقى عمله
The dead person is followed by three: His family, his wealth and his deeds. Then two of them come back: His family and his wealth, and there remain only his deeds

عن أنس رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «يَتْبَعُ الميتَ ثلاثةٌ: أهْلُه ومَالُه وعَمَلُه، فيرجع اثنان ويَبْقى واحد: يرجع أهْلُه ومَالُه، ويبقى عَمَلُه».

Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The dead person is followed by three: His family, his wealth and his deeds. Then two of them return: His family and his wealth, and there remain only his deeds."

صحيح - ( متفق عليه ). Sahih/Authentic. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

معنى الحديث: إذا مات الإنسان تبعه المشيعون له؛ فيتبعه أهله يشيعونه إلى قبره، ويتبعه ماله: أي عبيده وخدمه المماليك له، ويتبعه عمله معه، فيرجع اثنان، ويبقى معه عمله، فإن كان خيرًا فخير وإن كان شرًّا فشر.
When someone dies, his funeral attenders follow him - his family follows him to his grave, and his wealth follow him - his slaves and servants that he owns; and his deeds follow him. Then two return; his family and property, whereas his deeds remain with him. If they are good deeds, then he will find goodness; if they are evil deeds, then he will find evil.

الحث على فعل ما يبقى مع الإنسان، وهو العمل الصالح ليكون أنيسه في قبره، إذا رجع أهله وماله.
