باب: ثَنَاءُ النّاسِ عَلَى المَيّت
CHAPTER 42. The praising of a deceased by the people.
686. عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: مَرّوا بِجَنَازَةٍ فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا, فَقَالَ النّبِيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: (وَجَبَتْ). ثُمّ مَرّوا بِأُخْرَى فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا شَرّا, فَقَالَ: (وَجَبَتْ). فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الخَطّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: ما وَجَبَتْ قَالَ: (هذا أَثْنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا, فَوَجَبَتْ لَهُ الجَنّةُ, وَهذَا أَثْنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ شَرّا, فَوَجَبَتْ لَهُ النّارُ, أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ اللهِ في الأَرْضِ). رواه البخاري: 1367
686. Narrated Anas (bin Mâlik) رضى الله عنه : A funeral procession passed and the people praised the deceased. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, It has been affirmed to him. Then another funeral procession passed and the people spoke badly of the deceased. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, It has been affirmed to him. ‘Umar bin AlKhattâb asked Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم , What has been affirmed? He replied, You have praised this one so Paradise has been affirmed to him; and you have dispraised (spoken badly of) the other, so Hell has been affirmed to him. You people are Allâh’s witnesses on earth. (2:448O.B.)
