Ahmad Sanusi Husain: Hadith on 3 special deeds..."When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things..."

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said, "When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three things: Sadaqah Jariyah (ceaseless charity); a knowledge which is beneficial, or a virtuous descendant (sons or daughters) who prays for him (for the deceased).'' (Hadith Reported by Muslim)
