قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا يَلْحَقُ الرَّجُلَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَقَالَ سُنَّةٌ سَنَّهَا يُعْمَلُ بِهَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِصَ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ الْجَارِيَةُ تَجْرِي مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ الْوَلَدُ الصَّالِحُ يَدْعُو لِوَالِدَيْهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِمَا وَ يَحُجُّ وَ يَتَصَدَّقُ عَنْهُمَا وَ يُعْتِقُ وَ يَصُومُ وَ يُصَلِّي عَنْهُمَا فَقُلْتُ أُشْرِكُهُمَا فِي حَجِّي قَالَ نَعَمْ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>: ‘What attaches to the man after his death?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘A Sunnah which he enacted which would be acted upon after his death, so there would happen to be for him a Recompense of the one who acts by it without there being any deficiency in their Recompenses by anything; and a flowing charity which would flow after his death; and the righteous child who would supplicate for its parents after both their deaths, and go for Hajj (on their behalf), and give in charity on both their behalf, and emancipate (liberate a slave), and Fast, and Pray on both their behalf’. So I said, ‘Shall I offer Hajj on behalf of them both (parents)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes’.
