DESIRABLE ACTS FOR ONE'S DECEASED PARENTS H H 344 "Malik and some Companions were sitting with the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, when a man of the Bani Salamah came and asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, is there any kindness I can do for my parents after their death?' He answered: 'Yes, pray for them and ask for their forgiveness. Fulfill their promises, be kind to their relatives and honor their friends.'" R 344 Abu Daud with a chain up to Malik the son of Rabi'a Sa'idi who related this.
343- وعن أَبي أُسَيد - بضم الهمزة وفتح السين - مالك بن ربيعة الساعدي رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : بَيْنَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم إذ جَاءهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ ، فَقَالَ : يَا رسولَ اللهِ ، هَلْ بَقِيَ مِنْ برِّ أَبَوَيَّ شَيء أبرُّهُما بِهِ بَعْدَ مَوتِهمَا ؟ فَقَالَ : "نَعَمْ ، الصَّلاةُ عَلَيْهِمَا ، والاسْتغْفَارُ لَهُمَا ، وَإنْفَاذُ عَهْدِهِمَا مِنْ بَعْدِهِما ، وَصِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ الَّتي لا تُوصَلُ إلاَّ بِهِمَا ، وَإكرامُ صَدِيقهمَا" رواه أَبُو داود .
