Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 3962

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأُتِيَ بِجِنَازَةٍ ، فَأَثْنَى النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَجَبَتْ " . ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِأُخْرَى فَكَأَنَّ النَّاسَ نَالُوا مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " وَجَبَتْ " . فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أُتِيَ بِفُلَانٍ فَقَالَ : وَجَبَتْ ، وَأُتِيَ بِفُلَانٍ فَقَالَ : وَجَبَتْ . فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي ، أُتِيَ بِفُلَانٍ فَأَثْنَى النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا فَقُلْتَ : وَجَبَتْ ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِفُلَانٍ أَثْنَى النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ شَرًّا فَقُلْتُ : وَجَبَتْ ؟ فَقَالَ : " أُتِيَ بِأَخِيكُمْ فَشَهِدْتُمْ بِمَا شَهِدْتُمْ فَوَجَبَتْ شَهَادَتُكُمْ ، ثُمَّ أُتِيَ بِأَخِيكُمْ فُلَانٍ فَشَهِدْتُمْ [ بِمَا شَهِدْتُمْ ] فَوَجَبَتْ شَهَادَتُكُمْ ، أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ . وَرَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ بِاخْتِصَارٍ .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a funeral was brought. The people spoke of its good, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become due." Then another funeral was brought, and the people spoke ill of it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become due." The Companions said: "So-and-so's funeral was brought and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'It has become due'; then so-and-so was brought and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'It has become due.'" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "May my father and mother be sacrificed for you! So-and-so was brought and the people praised him, and you said: 'It has become due.' Then so-and-so was brought and the people spoke ill of him, and you said: 'It has become due.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A brother of yours was brought and you bore whatever testimony you bore about him, so your testimony became due. Then your brother so-and-so was brought and you bore the testimony you bore about him, so your testimony became due. You are the witnesses of Allah on earth, concerning one another."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
Imam al-Bazzar recorded it in abridged form.
