Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 3931

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the soul of the believer is taken, the people of mercy from among Allah's servants meet it just as a bearer of glad tidings is met in the world. They say: 'Look at your companion; he has found rest, for before this he was in severe distress.' Then they ask him: 'How is so-and-so? How is so-and-so? How is so-and-so? Has she married?' When they ask him about a person who died before him, he says: 'Alas, he died before me!' Then the others say: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un (We belong to Allah and to Him we return).' He must have been taken to his abode, al-Hawiyah (that is, Hell), and what an evil abode it is, and what an evil nurturer! (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) Your deeds are presented to your close relatives and kinsfolk from among the people of the Hereafter. If the deed is good, they are pleased with it and rejoice, and they say: 'O Allah! This is Your grace and Your mercy, so complete Your blessing upon him and grant him death upon it.' And the deed of the one who does evil is also presented to them, and they say: 'O Allah! Grant him the ability to do a righteous deed through which You become pleased with him and bring him near to You.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Maslamah bin Ali, who is da'if (weak).
