وَعَن ابْن عائذٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي جِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: لَا تُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ فَاجِرٌ فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: «هَلْ رَآهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى عَمَلِ الْإِسْلَامِ؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَرَسَ لَيْلَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَحَثَا عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ وَقَالَ: «أَصْحَابُكَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ» وَقَالَ: «يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْأَلُ عَنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ وَلَكِنْ تُسْأَلُ عَنِ الْفِطْرَةِ» . رَوَاهُ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ»
On the authority of Ibn Aidh, he said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, went out for the funeral of a man, and when he was laid, Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, said: Do not pray. On him, O Messenger of God, for he is an immoral man. So the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, turned to the people and said: “Has he seen him?” Is any of you committed to Islam? Then a man said: Yes, O Messenger of God, he guarded one night in the cause of God. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, prayed over him and covered him with dust and said: “Your friends think that you are among the people of Hell, but I bear witness that you are among the people of Paradise.” He said: “O Omar, you are not asked about people’s deeds, but you are asked about people’s common sense.” Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in “Shu’ab Al-Iman”
