Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبِ بْنِ أَبِي كَرِيمَةَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، - وَهُوَ الْحَرَّانِيُّ - عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ، حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدٌ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ طَلَعَتْ جَنَازَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ يَمُوتُ فَيَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ أَوْصَابِ الدُّنْيَا وَنَصَبِهَا وَأَذَاهَا وَالْفَاجِرُ يَمُوتُ فَيَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْهُ الْعِبَادُ وَالْبِلاَدُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Wahb ibn Abi Karimah al-Harrani narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Salamah—the Harrani—narrated to us, from Abu ‘Abd al-Rahim, who told me: Zayd narrated to me, from Wahb ibn Kaysan, from Ma‘bad ibn Ka‘b, from Abu Qatadah, who said: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when a funeral bier came into view. The Messenger of Allah said: ‘One who has found rest, and one from whom others have found rest. When a believer dies, he finds rest from the afflictions, hardship, and harm of this world. When a wicked person dies, the people, lands, trees, and animals find rest from him.’

Translation notes
  • The Arabic identifies Muhammad ibn Salamah as al-Harrani in a parenthetical clarification.
