وعن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏

‏ما من ميت يموت، فيقوم باكيهم، فيقول‏:‏ واجبلاه، وأسيداه، أو نحو ذلك إلا وكل به ملكان يلهزانه‏:‏ أهكذا كنت‏؟‏‏!‏‏

‏‏.‏ رواه الترمذي وقال حديث حسن‏.‏ «اللَّهْزُ»: الدَّفْعُ بِجُمْعِ اليَدِ فِي الصَّدْرِ.

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If anyone dies and the mourner gets up and says: 'Alas! For the mountain among men. Alas! For the chief ...' and such like, Allah will put two angels in charge of him who will beat on the breast and ask him (disapproving): 'Were you like that?' " [At- Tirmidhi].
