Deeds That Will Reach You After Your Death

When you die, then no deeds you can do anymore. But there are deeds than still can reach you after your death.

A hadith from Abu Hurairah (may Allah blesses him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

إِنَّ مِمَّا يَلْحَقُ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ وَحَسَنَاتِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ : عِلْمًا عَلَّمَهُ وَنَشَرَهُ ، وَوَلَدًا صَالِحًا تَرَكَهُ ، وَمُصْحَفًا وَرَّثَهُ ، أَوْ مَسْجِدًا بَنَاهُ ، أَوْ بَيْتًا لابْنِ السَّبِيلِ بَنَاهُ ، أَوْ نَهْرًا أَجْرَاهُ ، أَوْ صَدَقَةً أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ مَالِهِ فِي صِحَّتِهِ وَحَيَاتِهِ ، يَلْحَقُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَوْتِهِ

❝Among the good deeds that will reach a believer after his death are: knowledge which he learned and then spread; a righteous son whom he leaves behind; a copy of the Qur’an that he leaves as a legacy; a mosque that he built; a house that he built for wayfarers; a canal that he dug; or charity that he gave during his lifetime when he was in good health. These deeds will reach him after his death.❞

[Ibn Majah, classed as hasan by al-Albani in Saheeh at-Targheeb].
