وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْوَكِيعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ -:
مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ فَيَشْهَدُ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَهْلِ أَبْيَاتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِهِ الْأَدْنَيْنِ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، إِلَّا قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: قَدْ قَبِلْتُ عِلْمَكُمْ، وَغَفَرْتُ لَهُ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
