The Three That Follow To The Grave English Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali

“The Three That Follow To The Grave” is a concise and profoundly reflective treatise by the celebrated Hadith master, Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (d. 795 AH), derived from his commentary on the Prophet’s saying: “Three things follow the deceased person (to the grave): his family, his wealth, and his actions. Two of them return, and one remains.” This book offers a piercing spiritual lesson on mortality and eternal reward, systematically dissecting why only a person’s deeds—whether righteous or otherwise—truly accompany them beyond their final resting place, urging the reader to prioritize the enduring currency of the Hereafter over the fleeting attachments of family and wealth.
