English translation

3644. Ibn Abī Namlah Al-Anṣārī narrated from his father, that while he was sitting with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and a Jewish man was with him, a funeral passed by. He said: "O Muhammad, does this corpse speak (in the grave, with the angels)?" The Prophet ﷺ said: "Allāh knows best." The Jew said: "It does speak." The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whatever the people of the Book tell you, do not believe it, and do not deny it. Say: 'We believe in Allāh and His Messenger.' Then if it is false, you will not have believed it, and if it is true, you will not have denied it." (Da'if)

3644 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي نَمْلَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ، مِنَ الْيَهُودِ مُرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَلْ تَتَكَلَّمُ هَذِهِ الْجَنَازَةُ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ»، فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ: «إِنَّهَا تَتَكَلَّمُ»، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا حَدَّثَكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلَا تُصَدِّقُوهُمْ، وَلَا تُكَذِّبُوهُمْ، وَقُولُوا: آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، فَإِنْ كَانَ بَاطِلًا لَمْ تُصَدِّقُوهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ حَقًّا لَمْ تُكَذِّبُوهُ "
