It is narrated from Abu Yahya An-Naqidi that he heard al-Hasan bin al-Jarawy narrate:
One moment I passed my sister's grave, then I read Surat Tabarak (Surat Al-Mulk, red) beside her tomb. I did not read it yet, suddenly came to me a man who said:
"Verily I saw your sister in my dream. He said, 'May Allah repay the goodness of Abu Ali with the best of reply'. "
Yes, Abu Ali referred to is none other than al-Hasan bin al-Jarawy itself. This then becomes hujjah that actually people who have died can still gain benefit through the medium of good deeds performed by a living person. Be it family, relatives and others who may know the dead (dead). By way of stimulating good deeds for the reward then rewarded to the dead.

Sayyid Muhammad bin Alwi al-Maliki al-Hasani in his book, Tahqîqul Amal fî Mâ Yanfa'ul Mayyita minal A'mâl provides insight through a saheeh hadeeth which reads:
أن الميت يعذب ببكاء أهله عليه
"That the dead man could be tortured because of the weeping of his family."
The above hadith indicates that the living man can have an effect on the punishment of the dead on the power of God. While God is the Essence of the Almighty. If Allah gave the punishment of punishment to the dead as a consequence of his family's actions in the world, then it is not possible if God also conveys pleasure to the dead because of the good deeds his family does? Such is the mukhum mukhalafah (reverse logic) presented by Abuya Sayyid Muhammad al-Mliki.
