[Machine] Anas passed by the Prophet ﷺ during a funeral and praised it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It is due." He passed by another funeral and spoke ill of it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It is also due." It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, you said 'due' for that one and for this one." The Prophet ﷺ said, "The testimony of the faithful people is the testimony of Allah on earth."

A funeral procession passed in front of the Prophet ﷺ and the people praised the deceased. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It has been affirmed (Paradise)." Then another funeral procession passed by and the people talked badly of the deceased. The Prophet ﷺ said, "It has been affirmed (Hell)." Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! You said it has been affirmed for both?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "The testimony of the people (is accepted), (for) the believer are Allah's witnesses on the earth."
