أَخْبَرَنِي زِيَادُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ مُرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَبَتْ وَمُرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ أُخْرَی فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَبَتْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فِدَاکَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي مُرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا فَقُلْتَ وَجَبَتْ وَمُرَّ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَأُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا فَقُلْتَ وَجَبَتْ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَثْنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَمَنْ أَثْنَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ شَرًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ النَّارُ أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَائُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 1938
j it was narrated that Anas said: “A funeral passed by and the deceased was praised.” The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “It is granted.” Another funeral passed by and the deased was criticized. The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: “It is granted.” Umar said: “May my father and mother be ransomed for you. One funeral passed by and the deceased was praised, and you said, It is granted,’ then another funeral passed by and the deceased was criticized and you said, ‘It is granted?” He said: “Whoever is praised will be granted Paradise, and whoever is criticized will be granted Hell, You are the Witnesses of Allah on Earth.” (Sahih).
