Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ الشَّنِّيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، قَالَ:، جَلَسَ عُمَرُ مَجْلِسًا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَجْلِسُهُ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَائِزُ، قَالَ: فَمَرُّوا بِجِنَازَةٍ فَأَثْنَوْا خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ: وَجَبَتْ. ثُمَّ مَرُّوا بِجِنَازَةٍ فَأَثْنَوْا خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ: وَجَبَتْ. ثُمَّ مَرُّوا بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالُوا خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ: وَجَبَتْ. ثُمَّ مَرُّوا بِجِنَازَةٍ فَقَالُوا: هَذَا كَانَ أَكْذَبَ النَّاسِ. فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أَكْذَبَ النَّاسِ أَكْذَبُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ، ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ مَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى رُوحِهِ فِي جَسَدِهِ، قَالَ: قَالُوا: أَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَرْبَعَةٌ؟ قَالَ: وَجَبَتْ، قَالُوا: وَثَلاثَةٌ؟ قَالَ: وَجَبَتْ، قَالُوا: وَاثْنَيْنِ؟ قَالَ: وَجَبَتْ، وَلَأَنْ أَكُونَ قُلْتُ وَاحِدًا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ. قَالَ: فَقِيلَ لِعُمَرَ: هَذَا شَيْءٌ تَقُولُهُ بِرَأْيِكَ، أَمْ شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ قَالَ: لَا، بَلْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (٢) .، ،

It was narrated that ‘Abdullah bin Buraidah said:

`Umar (رضي الله عنه) sat where the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to sit, in a place where funerals passed by. A funeral passed by and they said good things (about the deceased). He said:lt is due, Then another funeral passed by and they said good things (about the deceased). He said: It is due. Then another funeral passed by and they said good things (about the deceased). He said: It is due, Then another funeral passed by and they said: This man was the most dishonest of people. He said: The most dishonest of people is the one who tells the most lies about Allah, and the next worst is the one who is dishonest with his soul in his body. They said: What do you think if four people testify? He said: It is due. They said: Or three? He said: If they are three, it is due. They said: Or two? He said: It is due, and if I had asked about one, that would have been dearer to me than red camels. It was said to ‘Umar: Is this something that you are saying on the basis of your own opinion or is it something that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) He said: No, rather it is something that I heard from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
