Riyad as-Salihin 1666 (Book 17, Hadith 156) #38155
The Consequences of Speaking Ill of the Dead

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the consequences of speaking ill of someone who has passed away.

Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah 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.
وعن أبي موسى رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله 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.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to the importance of respecting those who have passed away. It warns against speaking ill or making negative comments about someone who has died, as it will be judged by Allah and two angels will be sent to question the mourner. The mourner should instead focus on remembering and honoring the deceased in a positive way, as this is what Allah would want us to do. We should remember that everyone will eventually die, so we must treat each other with respect while they are alive and after they have passed away.
