Tirmidhi Book 10, Hadith 1058
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: مُرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَنَازَةٍ، فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: وَجَبَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ . قَالَ: وَفِي الْبَاب، عَنْ عُمَرَ، وَكَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى: حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Anas bin Malik narrated: A funeral (procession) passed by the Messenger of Allah and they were praising him with good statements. So the Messenger of Allah said: 'Granted.' Then he said: 'You are Allah's witnesses on the earth.'
