He said: Yes: praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their covenant after them, maintaining the family ties that can only be maintained through them, and honoring their friends.
بينا نحن جلوس عند رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - إذ جاءه رجل من بني سلمة فقال: يا رسول الله: هل بقي من بر أبوي شيء أبرهما به بعد موتهما؟ فقال: نعم: الصلاة عليهما، والاستغفار لهما، وإنفاذ عهدهما من بعدهما، وصلة الرحم التي لا توصل إلا بهما وإكرام صديقهماAnd success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
