It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Every person has three friends. One friend is the one who says: 'What you have spent is yours, and what you have held back is not yours'; and that is his wealth. The second friend is the one who says: 'I am with you, but when you reach the door of the King, I will leave you and go back'; and that is his family and servants. The third friend is the one who says: 'I am with you wherever you enter or leave'; and that is his deeds. The servant says to him (the third friend): 'You were the most insignificant of the three to me.'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it in this complete form, because they turned away from Imran al-Qattan, although he is not so discredited that his hadith should be abandoned; and the two Shaykhs agreed upon the hadith narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): "When the deceased dies, three things follow him."
