حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : " مَرُّوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَنَازَةٍ ، فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا ، فَقَالَ : وَجَبَتْ ، ثُمَّ مَرُّوا بِأُخْرَى ، فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا ، فَقَالَ : وَجَبَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ شُهَدَاءُ " .
Narrated Abu Hurairah: People with a bier passed by the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. They (the companions) spoke highly of him. He said: Paradise is certain for him. Then some people with another (bier) passed by him. They spoke very badly of him. He said: Hell is certain for him. He then said: Some of you are witness to others.
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ Whoever is remembered with goodness, Paradise becomes obligatory for him, and for the other, Hell.
➋ The true reality of the matter is only in the knowledge of Allah. However, it is obligatory upon the living to remember their deceased with goodness, or at the very least, to remain silent. Whoever among the people becomes renowned, there is certainly some basis for it. Therefore, a person should adopt truth and goodness so that he may be remembered with good mention.
