Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 148 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Indeed, when
وَعَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ ، وَهِشَامِ بْنِ الْغَازِ ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَلَامَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي رُهْمٍ السَّمَاعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : إِنَّ نَفْسَ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا قُبِضَتْ تَلَقَّاهَا أَهْلُ الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ ، كَمَا تَلَقَّوْنَ الْبَشِيرَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا ، فَيَقُولُونَ : أَنْظِرُوا صَاحِبَكُمْ يَسْتَرِحْ ، فَإِنَّهُ فِي كَرْبٍ شَدِيدٍ ، ثُمَّ يَسْأَلُونَهُ : مَا فَعَلَ فُلَانٌ ، وَفُلَانَةٌ هَلْ تَزَوَّجَتْ ؟ فَإِذَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ قَدْ مَاتَ قَبْلَهُ ، فَيَقُولُ : أَيْهَاتَ ، قَدْ مَاتَ ذَاكَ قَبْلِي . فَيَقُولُونَ : إِنَّا لِلهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ، ذُهِبَ بِهِ إِلَى أُمِّهِ الْهَاوِيَةِ ، بِئْسَتِ الْأُمُّ ، وَبِئْسَتِ الْمُرَبِّيَةُ I " .
وَقَالَ : I " إِنَّ أَعْمَالَكُمْ تُعْرَضُ عَلَى أَقَارِبِكُمْ ، وَعَشَائِرِكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْآخِرَةِ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ خَيْرًا فَرِحُوا وَاسْتَبْشَرُوا ، وَقَالُوا : اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا فَضْلُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ ، فَأَتْمِمْ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَمِتْهُ عَلَيْهَا . وَيُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَمَلُ الْمُسِيءِ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : اللَّهُمَّ أَلْهِمْهُ عَمَلًا صَالِحًا تَرْضَى بِهِ ، وَتُقَرِّبُهُ إِلَيْكَ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ إِلَّا زَيْدُ بْنُ وَاقِدٍ ، وَهِشَامُ بْنُ الْغَازِ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِمَا مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ .

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when the soul of a believer is taken, the people of mercy among the servants of Allah (the angels and the righteous) receive it just as you meet a bearer of good news in the world. Then they say: 'Leave this companion of yours (for a while) so that he may find rest, for he was in severe distress in the world.' Then they begin to ask him: 'What did so-and-so do? And what happened to so-and-so (a woman); did she marry?' When they ask him about a man who had died before him, he (the soul) says: 'Alas! He died before me.' (Hearing this) they say: 'Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un' (We belong to Allah and to Him we return); he has been taken to his (true) abode, his 'mother' al-Hawiyah (the pit of Hell); what an evil abode and what an evil place of nurture!"
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your deeds are presented to your close relatives and family members who are in the Hereafter. If the deed is good, they rejoice and give one another glad tidings, and they say: 'Allahumma hadha fadluka wa rahmatuk, fa-atmim ni'mataka 'alayhi, wa amithu 'alayha' (O Allah, this is Your grace and Your mercy, so complete Your favour upon him and cause him to die upon it). And the deeds of the wrongdoer are presented to them, and they say: 'Allahumma alhimhu 'amalan salihan tarda bihi, wa tuqarribuhu ilayk' (O Allah, inspire him to a righteous deed with which You will be pleased and which will bring him near to You)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Only Zayd bin Waqid and Hisham bin al-Ghaz (may Allah have mercy on them both) narrated these two hadiths from Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him), and Maslamah bin Ali (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating them from them."
