Sahih Muslim Book - 51, Hadith - 7221

حَدَّثَنِى عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا بُدَيْلٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ « إِذَا خَرَجَتْ رُوحُ الْمُؤْمِنِ تَلَقَّاهَا مَلَكَانِ يُصْعِدَانِهَا ». قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَذَكَرَ مِنْ طِيبِ رِيحِهَا وَذَكَرَ الْمِسْكَ. قَالَ « وَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ رُوحٌ طَيِّبَةٌ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَرْضِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى جَسَدٍ كُنْتِ تَعْمُرِينَهُ. فَيُنْطَلَقُ بِهِ إِلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الأَجَلِ ». قَالَ « وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ رُوحُهُ - قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ نَتْنِهَا وَذَكَرَ لَعْنًا - وَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ رُوحٌ خَبِيثَةٌ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَرْضِ. قَالَ فَيُقَالُ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الأَجَلِ ». قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَيْطَةً كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ هَكَذَا.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "When the soul of the believer departs, it is received by two angels who take it up." Hammad said: "And he mentioned its good fragrance and he mentioned musk." He said: "The people of heaven say: 'A good soul that has come from the earth. May Allah bless you and the body in which you used to reside.' Then it is taken to its Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, then He says: 'Take it to the Utmost Boundary."' He said: "When the soul of the disbeliever departs" - Hammad said: "and he mentioned its foul stench, and he mentioned curses" - "the people of heaven say: 'An evil soul that has come from the earth.' It is said: 'Take it to the Utmost Boundary."' Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) held a thin cloth that he had with him over his nose, like this."
