[Machine] A funeral passed by the Prophet (PBUH) and it was said to be good, and tongues followed it with good. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "It is guaranteed." Then another funeral passed by and they said it was evil, and tongues followed it with evil. The Prophet (PBUH) said, "You are witnesses for Allah on earth."

أحمد:١٢٨٣٧حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ جَنَازَةً مَرَّتْ بِالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقِيلَ لَهَا خَيْرًا وَتَتَابَعَتِ الْأَلْسُنُ لَهَا بِالْخَيْرِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَجَبَتْ ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ جَنَازَةٌ أُخْرَى فَقَالُوا لَهَا شَرًّا وَتَتَابَعَتِالْأَلْسُنُ لَهَا بِالشَّرِّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَجَبَتْ أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ اللهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ

"عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّتْ بِهِ جنَازَةٌ فَأثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا فِي مَناقِبِ الْخَيْرِ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ : وَجَبَتْ، ثُمَّ مَرَّتْ بِهِ جِنَازَةٌ أُخْرَى فأثْنَوْا عَلَيها شَرًا فِي مَنَاقِبِ الشَّرِّ، فَقَالَ: وَجَبَتْ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنْتُم شُهُودُ اللهِ في الأَرْضِ".
