Three-Narrator Ahadith 160
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Three things follow the dead person [to his grave]: his family, his wealth, and his deeds. Two of them return and one remains. His family and his wealth return, and his deeds remain.”

Musnad Aḥmad 160
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، سَمِعَ أَنَسًا يُحَدِّثُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلَاثٌ: أَهْلُهُ، وَمَالُهُ، وَعَمَلُهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَى وَاحِدٌ: يَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُهُ».

according to the conditions of al-Bukhārī and Muslim.
Chain: Aḥmad → Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna → ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Bakr [who heard it] from Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Sufyān ibn ʿUyayna al-Hilālī al-Makkī: thiqa ḥāfiẓ faqīh imām, d. 198 AH. (2) ʿAbdullāh ibn Abī Bakr ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAmr ibn Ḥazm al-Anṣārī al-Madanī: a Tābiʿī of the Madinan jurist house of Ibn Ḥazm; thiqa. Died 135 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Al-Bukhārī (6514); Muslim (2960); Aḥmad (12080). The narration is among the most searching reminders in the Sunnah of the impermanence of worldly attachment: the two things that occupy people most, family and wealth, accompany the body only as far as the graveside, while deeds alone pass with it into the unseen. Al-Bukhārī places it in the Book of Softening the Hearts. Because of the plainness of its lesson and the brevity of its chain, it is among the most widely memorized of the thulāthiyyāt of the Musnad.
