Riyad as-Salihin 104
العاشر عن أنس رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏ ‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
"‏ يتبع الميت ثلاثة‏:‏ أهله وماله وعمله؛ فيرجع اثنان ويبقى واحد‏:‏ يرجع أهله وماله، ويبقى عمله‏"
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Three follow a dead body: members of his family, his possessions and his deeds. Two of them return and one remains with him. His family and his possessions return; his deeds remain with him".[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
