Arabic hadith text
أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ بِشْرٍ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ - عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ تَسُبُّوا الأَمْوَاتَ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ أَفْضَوْا إِلَى مَا قَدَّمُوا " .
Translation
Humayd ibn Mas‘adah narrated to us, from Bishr—who is Ibn al-Mufaddal—from Shu‘bah, from Sulayman al-A‘mash, from Mujahid, from ‘A’ishah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: ‘Do not revile the dead, for they have arrived at what they sent ahead.’
Translation notes
The source identifies Bishr parenthetically as Ibn al-Mufaddal.
