Hadith 22592

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ الدِّيْلِيُّ ، عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا ، فَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : " مُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ " , قَالَ : قُلْنَا : أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، مَا مُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ ؟ قَالَ : " الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ يَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ نَصَبِ الدُّنْيَا وَهَمِّهَا إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، وَالْعَبْدُ الْفَاجِرُ يَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْهُ الْعِبَادُ وَالْبِلَادُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a funeral passed by the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and 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! (peace and blessings be upon him) What is meant by the one who has found relief?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A believing servant finds relief from the hardships and troubles of the world and attains comfort in the mercy of Allah." We asked, "What is meant by 'others have found relief from him'?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "From a wicked person, people, cities, trees, and even animals find relief."
