Being Allah's Witnesses on Earth

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was praised by a funeral procession and he responded to them with a blessing. He then reminded them that they are Allah's witnesses on earth.

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'."
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ مُرَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِجَنَازَةٍ فَأَثْنَوْا عَلَيْهَا خَيْرًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ وَجَبَتْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْتُمْ شُهَدَاءُ اللَّهِ فِي الأَرْضِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عُمَرَ وَكَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَنَسٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
