Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12362 — A funeral that passes and is praised

Iyas bin Salamah narrates from his father that the funeral of a man from the Ansar passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was praised. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become due." Then another funeral passed by, and it was praised less than that. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become due." The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah! What has become due?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The angels are the witnesses of Allah in the heaven, and you are the witnesses of Allah Almighty on the earth."
