Ask The Imam Question and Answer

638 There is a Hadith stating that when a person dies then in three cases they will be still receiving rewards in their grave, which are: Sadqah Jariya, ilm, Leaving behind a pious child. I heard from a scholar that there are 4 things really.

Please can you tell me if you know, what is the four thing that a person will still receive the reward for even in their grave?
Two Hadith that come to mind are :

Hazrat Abu Hurayrah (R.A) reported that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W) has said: "When a human being dies, all of his deeds are terminated except for three types: an ongoing Sadaqah, a knowledge (of Islam) from which others benefit, and a righteous child who makes Du'aa for him." (Muslim Shareef).

Hazrat Abu Qataadah (R.A) reported that Allah's Messenger (S.A.W) has said: "The best that a man can leave behind after his death are three things: a righteous child who makes Du'aa for him, an ongoing Sadaqah whose rewards continue to reach him, and a knowledge that continues to be implemented after him." (Ibn Maajah)

Both of these Hadith refer to 3 things or methods, which must continue to flourish for you to continue to receive reward. Ulema (Scholors) may define these in more categories for explanation, but we have not come across a fourth thing.
