اُردوEn
وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْوَكِيعِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ فَيَشْهَدُ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ الْأَدْنَيْنِ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا ، إِلَّا قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى : قَدْ قَبِلْتُ عِلْمَكُمْ ، وَغَفَرْتُ لَهُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whenever any Muslim dies and the members of four households among his nearest neighbours testify in his favour that they know nothing of him except good, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: 'I have accepted your knowledge (about My servant), and I have forgiven him even those sins that you did not know of.'"
