Ce qui parvient à un défunt après sa mort

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Nothing follows a deceased after his death except three things: a charity that Allah has made to function in his life time which continues after his death, a Sunnah of guidance that one establishes which is acted upon after his death and virtuous children who pray for him.’”

Un homme ne sera suivi après sa mort que par trois choses: une aumône dont il a récompensé Dieu de son vivant et qui continuera à lui profiter après sa mort, une pratique pieuse qu'il a instituée et qui sera suivie après son décès, et un enfant vertueux qui fera des invocations en sa faveur.

4. Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il has narrated from al-Fadl ibn Shadhan from Safwan ibn Yahya from Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar who has narrated the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about things that follow a deceased after his death. He (the Imam) said, ‘Of the things that follow a deceased after his death is his establishing a Sunnah of guidance which is acted upon after his death. He receives a reward just like the reward received by the one who has acted accordingly without any reduction in the reward of any one of them. Another issue is a perpetual charity that functions after his death, and a virtuous child who prays for his parents after their death, performs al-Hajj, gives charity on their behalf after their death, sets free slaves, fasts and performs Salat (prayer) on their behalf/ I then asked if I can share my al-Hajj with them. He (the Imam) said, ‘Yes, you can do so/”

J'ai demandé à Abi Abdillah (sur lui la paix) : "Que peut faire un homme après sa mort ?" Il a dit : "Une sunna qu'il a établie et qui est mise en pratique après sa mort lui sera attribuée comme récompense, sans que cela ne diminue en rien les récompenses de ceux qui l'ont pratiquée. Les aumônes continues continuent à être bénéfiques après sa mort, un enfant pieux prie pour ses parents après leur mort, fait le pèlerinage en leur nom, donne en charité pour eux, les affranchit, jeûne et prie pour eux. J'ai dit : "Puis-je inclure mes parents dans mon pèlerinage ?" Il a répondu : "Oui."

5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid from Muhammad ibn Shu’ayb from abu Kahmas who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Six things follow a believing deceased after his death: a child that asks forgiveness for him, a book that he leaves behind, a plantation that he plants, a well that he digs, a charity that he establishes and a Sunnah which is acted upon after his death/”

"Après sa mort, six choses suivent le croyant : un enfant qui demande pardon pour lui, un Coran qu'il laisse en héritage, un arbre qu'il plante, un puits qu'il creuse, une aumône qu'il fait couler, et une pratique religieuse qui est suivie après lui."
