Hadith 3244

عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ بْنِ رِبْعِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَنَازَةٍ قَالَ: ((مُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ))، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! مَا الْمُسْتَرِيحُ وَالْمُسْتَرَاحُ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ: ((الْمُؤْمِنُ اسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ نَصَبِ الدُّنْيَا وَأَذَاهَا إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، وَالْفَاجِرُ اسْتَرَاحَ مِنْهُ الْعِبَادُ وَالْبِلَادُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ))
Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah bin Rabi’i, may Allah be pleased with him, says that a funeral passed by the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. He, peace and blessings be upon him, said about it: “He has found relief, or others have found relief from him.” The companions asked: “O Messenger of Allah! What does it mean that he has found relief or others have found relief from him?” He, peace and blessings be upon him, replied: “A believer finds relief from the hardships and troubles of the world and goes to the mercy of Allah, and from a wicked person, other people, cities, trees, and animals find relief.”
