Hadith #46134
عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال: مروا بجنازة، فأثنوا عليها خيراً، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلمى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم : "وجبت”، ثم مروا بأخرى، فأثنوا عليها شراً، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلمى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم : "وجبت" فقال عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه: ما وجبت؟ قال: "هذا أثنيتم عليه خيراً، فوجبت له الجنة، وهذا أثنيتم عليه شراً فوجبت عليه النار، أنتم شهداء الله في الأرض” ((متفق عليه)).
The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “They were passing by a funeral, and they praised it well, and the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “This is Wajib.” Then they passed by another, and they praised it, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "It is obligatory" so what did you say? That's a wajib? He said, "This is what you have appreciated." Well, so he was given Paradise, and you praised this man for the bad, so Hell was obligatory for him. You are the martyr of God on earth.
