Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: As for the one that follows, it is a valid hadith; and it is his saying: And from Anas ibn Malik - may Allah be pleased with him - from the Messenger of Allah - peace and blessings be upon him - who said:
Three things follow the deceased يتبع الميِّتَ ثلاثٌ
, look at this depiction of the value of wealth in this life, he said - peace be upon him - :
Three things follow the deceased: his family, his wealth, and his deeds. Two return and one remains; his family and his wealth return, and his deeds remain يتبع الميِّتَ ثلاثٌ : أهلُه ومالُه وعملُه ، فيرجع اثنان ويبقى واحد ؛ يرجع أهله وماله ويبقى عمله
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 1:230
. So, since you will inevitably have to part with it and leave it behind you, gaining nothing from it, be light, light of burden; because this wealth is something you will inevitably have to leave behind, and increase in righteous deeds, he said - peace and blessings be upon him - :
Three things follow the deceased: his family and his wealth يتبع الميِّتَ ثلاثٌ : أهله وماله
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34:538
