'Six things benefit a person after he passes away: a child who seeks forgiveness for him, a copy of the Qur?an which he leaves behind, a plant that he planted, water that he donated in charity, a well that he had dug, and a tradition that others take from him and [practice] after him.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
