The Chapter of Condolences and Grief During Calamities, Visiting Graves, Lamentation and Mourning Gatherings
وَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «سِتَّةٌ يَلْحَقْنَ اَلْمُؤْمِنَ بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ وَلَدٌ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ وَ مُصْحَفٌ يُخَلِّفُهُ وَ غَرْسٌ يَغْرِسُهُ وَ صَدَقَةُ مَاءٍ يُجْرِيهِ وَ قَلِيبٌ يَحْفِرُهُ وَ سُنَّةٌ يُؤْخَذُ بِهَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ.
Imam عليه السلام said: "Six things follow a believer after his death: a child who seeks forgiveness for him, a Quran he leaves behind, a tree he plants, a charity of water he provides, a well he digs, and a good tradition that is acted upon after him."
