(48) باب اسْتِرَاحَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ بِالْمَوْتِ
It was narrated from Abu Qatadah bin Raib'i that he used to narrate:
"A funeral passed by the Messenger of Allah and he said: 'He is relieved and others are relieved of him.' They said: 'What does relieved mean and what does relieved of him mean: He said: "The believing slave is relieved of the hardships and troubles of this world, and the people, the land, the trees and the animals are relieved of the immoral slave."'
