"While we were with the Prophet ﷺ, a man from the Banu Salamah came to him and said: " O messenger of Allah, is there anyway of honoring my parents that I can still do for them after they die?' He said: "Yes offering the funeral prayer for them, praying for forgiveness for them, fulfilling their promises after their death, honoring their freinds and upholding the ties of kinship which you would not have were it nor for them.'"

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Usaid, companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , who was present at the Battle of Badr and was their guardian. He said, Abu Usaid said, "While I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , a man from the Ansar came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there any act of goodness that I can do for my parents after their death to benefit them?' He said, 'Yes, four characteristics: Praying for them, seeking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their promises, and honoring their friends. And maintaining family ties that do not exist except through them. These are the acts of goodness that remain for you to do for them after their death.'"
