It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Three things follow the believer (in his funeral): his family, his wealth and his deeds. Then two return and one remains (in the grave): his family and wealth return, while his deeds remain."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no servant but that he has three close friends." Then he mentioned the complete long narration like the previous hadith.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of the believer and his death is like a man who has three close friends. His wealth says to him: 'I am your wealth; take from me what you wish and leave what you wish.' The second (friend) says: 'I am with you; I will carry you (on a mount) and set you down (at the destination), but when you die I will leave you.' (He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) 'This is his tribe and family.' And the third friend says: 'I am with you; I will enter (the grave) with you and come out with you, whether you die or live.' (He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) 'This is a person's deeds.'"
