It is related that the gifts of alms, prayers, and Qur’anic recitation sent by the living to the dead reach them carried by the angels on plates of light, and adorned with silk handkerchiefs, and they say to them: ‘This is a gift from so-and-so’, and in this way they find joy and delight.
~The Lives of Man: Imam ‘Abdallah Ibn ‘Alawi al-Haddad {رضي الله عنه}
