[2200] 60 - (949) It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik said: “A funeral passed by and (the deceased) was spoken well of. The Prophet of Allâh ﷺ said: ‘It has become certain, it has become certain, it has become certain.' Another funeral passed by and (the deceased) was spoken badly of. The Prophet of Allâh ﷺ said: 'It has become certain, it has become certain, it has become certain.' 'Umar said: 'May my father and mother be ransomed for you. A funeral passed by and (the deceased) was spoken well of, and you said: "It has become certain, it has become certain, it has become certain, it has become certain." Then another passed by and (the deceased) was spoken badly of, and you said: "It has become certain, it has become certain, it has become certain, it has become certain." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'For the one of whom you spoke well, Paradise has become certain for him, and for the one of whom you spoke badly, the Fire has become certain for him. You are the witnesses of Allâh on earth, you are the witnesses of Allâh on earth, you are the witnesses of Allâh on earth, you are the witnesses of Allâh on earth, you are the witnesses of Allâh on earth.'"
