Narrated Abu Qatada bin Rib’i Al-Ansari: A funeral procession passed by Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) who said, “Relieved or relieving?” The people asked,
“O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! What is relieved and relieving?” He said, “A believer is relieved (by death) from
the troubles and hardships of the world and leaves for the Mercy of Allah, while (the death of) a
wicked person relieves the people, the land, the trees, (and) the animals from him.”

Narrated Abu Qatada: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Relieved or relieving. And a believer is relieved (by death).

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When carried to his grave, a dead person is followed by three, two of which
return (after his burial) and one remains with him: his relative, his property, and his deeds follow him;
relatives and his property go back while his deeds remain with him.”

Narrated Ibn `Umar: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “When anyone of you dies, his destination is displayed before him in the
forenoon and in the afternoon, either in the (Hell) Fire or in Paradise, and it is said to him, “That is
your place till you are resurrected and sent to it.”

Narrated Mu`adh bin Jabal: While I was riding behind the Prophet (ﷺ) as a companion rider and there was nothing between me and
him except the back of the saddle, he said, “O Mu`adh!” I replied, “Labbaik O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! And
Sa`daik!” He proceeded for a while and then said, “O Mu`adh!” I said, “Labbaik and Sa`daik, O
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)!” He then proceeded for another while and said, “O Mu`adh bin Jabal!” I replied,
“Labbaik, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and Sa`daik!” He said, “Do you know what is Allah’s right on His
slaves?” I replied, “Allah and His Apostle know better.” He said, “Allah’s right on his slaves is that
they should worship Him and not worship anything besides Him.” He then proceeded for a while, and
again said, “O Mu`adh bin Jabal!” I replied. “Labbaik, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and Sa`daik.” He said, “Do
you know what is (Allah’s) slaves’ (people’s) right on Allah if they did that?” I replied, “Allah and His
Apostle know better.” He said, “The right of (Allah’s) slaves on Allah is that He should not punish
them (if they did that).

Narrated `Aisha: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not abuse the dead, for they have reached the result of what they have done.”

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) had a she-camel called Al-`Adba’ and it was too fast to surpass in speed. There came a
bedouin riding a camel of his, and that camel outstripped it (i.e. Al-Aqba’). That result was hard on the
Muslims who said sorrowfully, “Al- Adba has been outstripped.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “It is due from
Allah that nothing would be raised high in this world except that He lowers or puts it down.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Two men, a Muslim and a Jew, abused each other. The Muslim said, “By Him Who gave superiority
to Muhammad over all the people.” On that, the Jew said, “By Him Who gave superiority to Moses
over all the people.” The Muslim became furious at that and slapped the Jew in the face. The Jew went
to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and informed him of what had happened between him and the Muslim. Allah’s
Apostle said, “Don’t give me superiority over Moses, for the people will fall unconscious on the Day
of Resurrection and I will be the first to gain consciousness, and behold ! Moses will be there holding
the side of Allah’s Throne. I will not know whether Moses has been among those people who have
become unconscious and then has regained consciousness before me, or has been among those
exempted by Allah from falling unconscious.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah said, ‘I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious
worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved things with which My slave comes nearer to Me, is what I
have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil
(praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him, so I become his sense of
hearing with which he hears, and his sense of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he
grips, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks Me, I will give him, and if he asks My
protection (Refuge), I will protect him; (i.e. give him My Refuge) and I do not hesitate to do anything
as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death, and I hate to disappoint him.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The people will fall down unconscious at the time when they should fall down (i.e.,
on the Day of Resurrection), and then I will be the first man to get up, and behold, Moses will be there
holding (Allah’s) Throne. I will not know whether he has been amongst those who have fallen
unconscious.”
