[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When someone dies, their deeds cease except for three things: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.

Abu Bakr Muhammad Ibn Bakr Al-Tusi, a jurist, narrated it from Abu Bashir Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Al-Hadiri, who narrated it from Abu Abbas Al-Sarraj, who narrated it from Abu Hammam Al-Sukuni, and Al-Hussein Ibn Al-Dhahhak, who said that Ismail narrated it from Al-Ala in a similar manner.
