Ziyad bin Ilaqah narrates: I heard a man in the presence of Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) say that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not revile the dead, for in this way you will hurt the living" (or the meaning is: do not hurt the living by reviling the dead).
Ahmad recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
