It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The deeds of every deceased person are ended, except for the person who dies in the state of ribat (guarding) in the way of Allah; his deeds continue to increase until the Day of Resurrection, and he remains safe from the trial of the grave.
