Chapter: What was narrated concerning praising the deceased
Hadith 1491
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجِنَازَةٍ ، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا ، فَقَالَ : " وَجَبَتْ " ، ثُمَّ مُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ ، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا ، فَقَالَ : " وَجَبَتْ " ، فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قُلْتَ لِهَذِهِ : وَجَبَتْ ، وَلِهَذِهِ : وَجَبَتْ ، فَقَالَ : " شَهَادَةُ الْقَوْمِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ شُهُودُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ " .
´It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said:` “A funeral (procession) passed by the Prophet (ﷺ) and they praised (the deceased) and spoke well of him. He said: ‘(Paradise is) guaranteed for him.’ Then another funeral passed by and they spoke badly of him, and he (the Prophet (ﷺ)) said: ‘(Hell is) guaranteed for him.’ It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you said that (Paradise was) guaranteed for this one and that (Hell was) guaranteed for the other one.’ He said: ‘It is the testimony of the people, and the believers are the witnesses of Allah on earth.’”
