Hazrat Abu Qataadah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The best things a person can leave behind after his demise are three; a pious child who makes du‘aa for him, sadaqah-e-jaariyah (the good that one leaves behind) the benefit and reward of which continues to reach one after his demise, and the knowledge of Deen (which he imparted to people) that people continue to practice after his demise.”

The Virtue of Spending Time in the Path of Allah Ta‘ala
Written by user2عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لغدوة في سبيل الله أو روحة خير من الدنيا وما فيها (صحيح البخاري #2792)
Hazrat Anas bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Going out in the path of Allah Ta‘ala for some time in the morning or for some time in the afternoon is better than the world and all that it contains.”
عن عائشة قالت ما رأيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منتصرا من مظلمة ظلمها قط ما لم ينتهك من محارم الله تعالى شيء فإذا انتهك من محارم الله شيء كان من أشدهم في ذلك غضبا وما خير بين أمرين إلا اختار أيسرهما ما لم يكن مأثما (الشمائل للترمذي #349)
Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) mentions, “I never saw Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) seeking retribution for any act of oppression that was carried out against himself. However, he would seek retribution when the law of Allah Ta‘ala was transgressed (i.e. he only expressed anger and sought retribution for the sake of Allah Ta‘ala, at the time when the law of Allah Ta‘ala was transgressed). If any law of Allah Ta‘ala was transgressed, then Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would become the most angry of people due to the law of Allah Ta‘ala being broken. Whenever Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was given the option to choose between two (permissible) things, he always chose the option that was easier (for his Ummah), provided that it (the thing he chose) would not have the potential to lead to sin.”

Should I not be a grateful servant (by expressing gratitude for His countless favors through exerting myself in His remembrance and worship)?”
