English translation

1492. It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "A funeral passed by the Prophet ﷺ and they praised (the deceased) and spoke well of him and mentioned his good characteristics. He said: '(Paradise is) guaranteed for him.' Then another funeral passed by and they spoke badly of him and mentioned his bad characteristics, and he (the Prophet ﷺ) said: '(Hell is) guaranteed for him. You are the witnesses of Allâh on earth.'" (Hasan)

Arabic text

1492 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: مُرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجِنَازَةٍ، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا فِي مَنَاقِبِ الْخَيْرِ، فَقَالَ: «وَجَبَتْ» ثُمَّ مَرُّوا عَلَيْهِ بِأُخْرَى، فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا فِي مَنَاقِبِ الشَّرِّ، فَقَالَ: «وَجَبَتْ، إِنَّكُمْ شُهَدَاءُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ»
