Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)

RIGHTS OF PARENTS AFTER THEIR DEATH

Hadrat Abu Usaid As Said (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated; While we were with ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) a man of Banu Salma came to him and said, “Messenger of ALLAAH, is there any kindness left that I can do to my parents after their death? He replied, “Yes, you can invoke blessings on them, ask forgiveness for them, carry out their final instructions after their death, join ties of relationship which are dependent on them, and honour their friend.” [Abu Dawud - lbn Majah]

Hadrat Anas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “If the parents of a man die or one of them dies, and he has been undutiful to them, he should keep making supplication and asking forgiveness for them till ALLAAH records that he is dutiful! [Bukhari]

Hadrat Abu ‘Umar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s Messenger (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) as saying, “One of the finest acts of kindness is for a man to treat his father’s friends kindly after he has departed.” [Muslim]
