Hadith 255

أَخْبَرَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنِي الضَّحَّاكُ بْنُ حُمْرَةَ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ الْأُمْلُوكِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَمُوتُ فَيَشْهَدُ لَهُ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ خِيرَتِهِ الْأَقْرَبِينَ، فَيَقُولَانِ: اللَّهُمَّ لَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا إِلَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِملَائِكَتِهِ: أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي بِشَهَادَتِهِمَا وَتَجَاوزْتُ لَهُ عَمَّا لَا يَعْلَمَانِ ".
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "Whoever passes away and his two close neighbors testify regarding him, saying: O Allah! We know only good about him, then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says to the angels: I make you witnesses that I have forgiven My servant because of the testimony of these two men, and I have pardoned him for the things about which they do not know."
