حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بُدَيْلٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ، اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ ‏"‏ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ رُوحُ الْمُؤْمِنِ تَلَقَّاهَا مَلَكَانِ يُصْعِدَانِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَذَكَرَ مِنْ طِيبِ رِيحِهَا وَذَكَرَ الْمِسْكَ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ رُوحٌ طَيِّبَةٌ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَرْضِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى جَسَدٍ كُنْتِ تَعْمُرِينَهُ ‏.‏ فَيُنْطَلَقُ بِهِ إِلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الأَجَلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ رُوحُهُ - قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ نَتْنِهَا وَذَكَرَ لَعْنًا - وَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ رُوحٌ خَبِيثَةٌ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَرْضِ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الأَجَلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم رَيْطَةً كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ هَكَذَا ‏.‏

Translation

Abu Hurayrah reported: When the soul of a believer leaves, two angels receive it and take it upward. Hammad mentioned its sweet fragrance, like musk. The inhabitants of heaven say, ‘A pure soul has come from the earth. Blessings be upon you and upon the body you used to inhabit.’ It is taken to its Lord, Mighty and Majestic, who says, ‘Take it to its appointed end.’ When the soul of an unbeliever leaves—Hammad mentioned its foul smell and that it is cursed—the inhabitants of heaven say, ‘A foul soul has come from the earth.’ It is said, ‘Take it to its appointed end.’ Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) covered his nose with a cloth he had with him as he spoke of the unbeliever’s soul.
