It was narrated that Abu Qatadah said: “We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم when a funeral appeared. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم said: ‘He is relieved and others are relieved of him. When the believer dies he is relieved of the calamities, hardships and troubles of this world, and when the evildoer dies, the people, the land, the trees and the animals are relieved of him.” (Sahih)
