The Lasting Legacy of Deeds

SUMMARY: The deeds of a person will remain with them even after their death.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "Three follow a dead body: members of his family, his possessions and his deeds. Two of them return and one remains with him. His family and his possessions return; his deeds remain with him". Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
العاشر عن أنس رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏ يتبع الميت ثلاثة‏:‏ أهله وماله وعمله؛ فيرجع اثنان ويبقى واحد‏:‏ يرجع أهله وماله، ويبقى عمله‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ teaches us that our deeds are the only things that will remain with us after we die. Our family and possessions may not stay with us forever, but our good deeds will always be remembered and rewarded in the afterlife. We should strive to do as many good deeds as possible in this life so that we can reap the rewards in the hereafter. It is important to remember that our actions have consequences and it is up to us to decide whether those consequences are positive or negative. We should strive for righteousness and avoid sinning so that we can leave behind a legacy of good deeds when we pass away.
