Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تَسُبُّوا الأَمْوَاتَ، فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَفْضَوْا إِلَى مَا قَدَّمُوا ".
Translation
Ali ibn al-Ja'd narrated to us; Shu'bah informed us, from al-A'mash, from Mujahid, from Aishah, who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: ‘Do not revile the dead, for they have reached what they sent ahead.’
