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

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.
