Arabic (Original)
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الثَّقَفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدَّوْرَقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ السَّهْمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ فَأَتَتْهُ بِتَمْرٍ وَسَمْنٍ فَقَالَ «أَعِيدُوا سَمْنَكُمْ فِي سِقَائِهِ وَتَمْرَكُمْ فِي وِعَائِهِ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ» فَصَلَّى صَلَاةً غَيْرَ مَكْتُوبَةٍ وَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ فَدَعَا لِأُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهَا فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي خُوَيْصَةً قَالَ «مَا هِيَ يَا أُمَّ سُلَيْمٍ» قَالَتْ خَادِمُكَ أَنَسٌ فَدَعَا لِي بِخَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَقَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْهُ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا وَبَارِكْ لَهُ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي مِنْ أَكْثَرِ النَّاسِ وَلَدًا
English Translation
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The deeds of the son of Adam will continue to benefit him after his death: knowledge which he spread, a righteous child whom he left behind, a copy of the Quran which he bequeaths, a mosque which he builds, a house for travelers which he constructs, a canal which he dug, or charity which he gave during his lifetime when he was healthy. These will continue to benefit him after his death.'
