As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Witnesses - 3rd Jumada al-Awwal 1431 (17th April 2010)
Narrated Abu Al-Aswad (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):
Once I went to Medina where there was an outbreak of disease and the people
were dying rapidly. I was sitting with 'Umar and a funeral procession
passed by. The people praised the deceased. 'Umar said, "It has been
affirmed" (Paradise). Then another funeral procession passed by. The people
praised the deceased. 'Umar said, "It has been affirmed." (Paradise). Then
another funeral procession passed by. The people praised the deceased.
'Umar said, "It has been affirmed (Paradise)." Then a third funeral
procession passed by and the people talked badly of the deceased. 'Umar
said, "It has been affirmed (Hell)." I asked Umar, "O chief of the
believers! What has been affirmed?" He said, "I have said what the Prophet
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said. He said, 'Allah will admit into
paradise any Muslim whose good character is attested by four persons.' We
asked the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), 'If there were three
witnesses only?' He said, 'Even three.' We asked, 'If there were two only?'
He said, 'Even two.' But we did not ask him about one witness."
