1936 - أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ بِشْرٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَسُبُّوا الْأَمْوَاتَ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَفْضَوْا إِلَى مَا قَدَّمُوا»

Commentary
The affairs of the dead should be entrusted to Allāh, Most High, because only the verdict of Allāh is right. If we call a person evil who is good before Allāh, then this is a matter of great sin. Therefore, the reasonable thing is to remain silent. However, those unbelievers, hypocrites or libertines who are openly known to common folks by their vices, and die with their wicked qualities, they could be mentioned with their evils, so that people may not behave like them.
