Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

17th Muharram 1436 (10th November 2014)

Narrated Anas (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

A funeral procession passed in front of the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) and the people praised the deceased. The Prophet (Sallallahu
'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "It has been affirmed (Paradise)." Then another
funeral procession passed by and the people talked badly of the deceased.
The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "It has been affirmed
(Hell)." Allah's Apostle was asked, "O Allah's Apostle! You said it has
been affirmed for both?" The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said,
"The testimony of the people (is accepted), (for) the believers are Allah's
witnesses on the earth."
