Foreword

When a man dies, nothing lives on after him, except for three things: sadaqah jariyah (continuing charity), * knowledge which can benefit others, or virtuous offspring who will pray for him. HADITH OF MUSLIM ON THE AUTHORITY OF ABU HURAYRAH. * THAT IS, HIS CHARITY, THE BENEFIT OF WHICH CONTINUES EVEN AFTER THE DONOR HAS PASSED AWAY, SUCH AS THE BUILDING OF A BRIDGE OR A HOSPITAL, OR THE DIGGING OF A WELL. 75 A believer should never loathe a believing wife. If one quality in her does not find favour with her husband, some other quality will be to his liking. HADITH OF MUSLIM
