The Dictations · Hadith 56 (#Ḥadīth #7)

7 - حدثنا محمد بن علي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن محمد ابن عيسى، عن منصور، عن هشام بن سالم، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليهما السلام)، قال: ليس يتبع الرجل بعد موته من الاجر إلا ثلاث خصال: صدقة أجراها في حياته فهي تجري بعد موته، وسنة هدى سنها، فهي يعمل بها بعد موته، وولد صالح يستغفر له (2).

Muhammad b. `Ali narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from Muhammad b. `Isa from Mansur from Hisham b. Salim from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad . He said: No reward will follow a man after his death except in three things: (1) A continuous deed (sadaqa jariya) that he had established in his life that continues after his death. (2) A tradition of guidance that continues after his death. (3) A righteous child that seeks repentance for him.
