Mentioning the good deeds of the deceased
Hadith 254
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ، نا مِسْعَرٌ، حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: تُوُفِّيَ رَجُلٌ فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((وَجَبَتْ)) ، ثُمَّ تُوُفِّيَ آخَرُ فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهِ شَرًّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((وَجَبَتْ)) ، فَعَجِبَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ مِنْهُ وَقَالَ: مَا وَجَبَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ بَعْضِكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man passed away and his good qualities were mentioned, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become obligatory." Then another man passed away and his bad qualities were mentioned, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become obligatory." Some people were surprised at this and asked: O Messenger of Allah! What has become obligatory? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are witnesses over one another."
