Musnad Ahmad

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting in the gathering of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when a funeral passed by. He said, "This person is either one who has found relief or others have found relief from him." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by 'one who has found relief'?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A believing servant, after being freed from the hardships and troubles of the world, finds comfort in the mercy of Allah." We asked, "What is meant by 'others have found relief from him'?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "From a wicked person, people, cities, trees, and even animals find relief."
