حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : "

مَرُّوا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِجَنَازَةٍ ، فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا ، فَقَالَ : وَجَبَتْ ، ثُمَّ مَرُّوا بِأُخْرَى ، فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا شَرًّا ، فَقَالَ : وَجَبَتْ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : إِنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ شُهَدَاءُ
