وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَزْدِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَائِذٍ، يَقُولُ:

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي جِنَازَةِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ، فَلَمَّا وُضِعَ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَا تُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ، فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ فَاجِرٌ، فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: هَلْ رَآهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ عَمَلِ الْإِسْلَامِ ؟ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، حَرَسَ مَعَنَا لَيْلَةً فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ تَعَالَى، فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ، وَحَثَا عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ، وَقَالَ: أَصْحَابُكَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: يَا عُمَرُ إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْأَلُ عَنْ أَعْمَالِ النَّاسِ، وَلَكِنْ تُسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ went out for the funeral of a man from the Ansar. When he was placed, Umar b. al-Khattab ؓ said: O Messenger of God, do not pray over him, for he is a wicked man. The Messenger of God ﷺ turned and said: Did any of you see him doing any act of Islam? A man said: Yes, O Messenger of God, he stood guard with us one night in the way of God Almighty. So he prayed over him and threw soil upon him, and said: Your companions think that you are from the people of the Fire, and I bear witness that you are from the people of Paradise. Then he ﷺ said: O Umar, you will not be asked about people's deeds, but you will be asked about the prayer.
