قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ ، أَنْبَأَنِي خَيْثَمَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ : مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَسُبُّ الْمَيِّتَ كَالْمُشْرِفِ عَلَى الْهَلَكَةِ ، وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَجْلِسُ عَلَى فِرَاشِ الْمُغِيبَةِ ، مَثَلُ الَّذِي تُنَفَّسُ دُبُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ .
Khaythamah bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The example of one who reviles the deceased is like that of a person standing on the brink of destruction; and the example of one who sits on the bed of a woman whose husband is away from home is like that of a person whose backside will be widened on the Day of Resurrection."
Clarification: This report contains a severe warning against reviling the deceased and against going to a non-mahram woman whose husband is not at home.

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ إِيَاسِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ - رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - قَالَ : مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِجِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا ، فَقَالَ : وَجَبَتْ ، ثُمَّ مُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ أُخْرَى فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : وَجَبَتْ . فَقِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، مَا وَجَبَتْ ؟ قَالَ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : الْمَلَائِكَةُ شُهُودُ اللهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ ، وَأَنْتُمْ شُهُودُ اللهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin al-Akwa' (may Allah be pleased with him) that the funeral of a man of the Ansar passed before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was praised with good, whereupon he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become due." Then another funeral passed by him (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was praised less (than the first), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: "It has become due." It was said: O Messenger of Allah, what has become due? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The angels are Allah's witnesses in the heavens, and you are Allah's witnesses on the earth."

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.'"
