حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَلْحَلَةَ الدِّيْلِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا فَمُرَّ عَلَيْهِ بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالَ مُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ قَالَ قُلْنَا أَيْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مُسْتَرِيحٌ وَمُسْتَرَاحٌ مِنْهُ قَالَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ يَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْ نَصَبِ الدُّنْيَا وَهَمِّهَا إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَالْعَبْدُ الْفَاجِرُ يَسْتَرِيحُ مِنْهُ الْعِبَادُ وَالْبِلَادُ وَالشَّجَرُ وَالدَّوَابُّ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, 'Abdullah ibn Sa'id ibn Abi Hind narrated to us, Muhammad ibn 'Amr ibn Halhala al-Dili narrated to me, from a son of Ka'b ibn Malik, from Abu Qatadah, who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) one day when a funeral passed by him. He said: 'One who is relieved and one who is relieved from.' We said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the one who is relieved and the one who is relieved from?' He said: 'The righteous servant is relieved from the toil and worries of this world to the mercy of Allah, Most High. And the wicked servant - the people, the land, the trees, and the animals are relieved from him.'
