Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Amr ibnHalhalaad-Dili from Mabad ibn Kab ibn Malik that Abu Qatada ibn Ribiused to relate that a funeral procession passed by the Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he said, "One isrelieved and another others are relieved from." They said, "Who is theone relieved and the one from whom others are relieved?" He said, "Aslave who is mumin is the one who is relieved from the exhaustion andsuffering of this world to the mercy of Allah, and a wrong-actingslave is the one from whom people, towns, trees and animals arerelieved."
