The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : The text says:
The Shaykh : As long as you are silent and I am like you.
The questioner : We took this hadith from the abridged version of Minhaj al-Qasidin, so I do not know; it seems they were silent about the hadith, they did not put anything under it, so we would like to know what it is supposed to be.
The Shaykh : Who is the author of the abridged version?
The questioner : Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi, with the verification of Shu'ayb al-Arna'ut and his brother; it seems they knew that, if Allah wills, nothing good has been verified, but they were silent about this one.
The Shaykh : And the book is in front of you?
The questioner : I will bring it.
The Shaykh : Bring it.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : Before Anas, what is there?
The questioner : There are two paragraphs before it.
The Shaykh : I don't want to say; tell me the first word before Anas.
The questioner : The first word before Anas is "from."
The Shaykh : And before that?
The questioner : There is nothing.
The Shaykh : That won't do, there is nothing, may Allah guide you; as long as there are two paragraphs, how can there be nothing!
The questioner : I think there is no connection between them.
The Shaykh : It doesn't matter to you, my brother; it doesn't tell me what I intend. I am asking you: before "from," what is there?
The questioner : I will read to you the paragraph before it; it is short.
The Shaykh : Okay, read.
The questioner : And it has been narrated that the two angels assigned to the servant appear to him at death.
The Shaykh : Okay.
The questioner : If he was righteous, they praised him and said: May Allah reward you with good. And if he was with them in evil, they said: May Allah not reward you with good. And of course, the verification below says that Ibn Abi al-Dunya narrated it from Wahil ibn al-Ward as a report. What is meant, okay, what does "as a report" mean?
The Shaykh : It means he said: It was reported to me thus.
The questioner : Yes, without verification, meaning.
The Shaykh : Yes, and then?
The questioner : Then a paragraph comes from him, after which it says: from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The questioner : They did not comment on anything in the paragraph, but we are used to this paragraph meaning it is authentic; I just want to make sure.
The Shaykh : How do you know the paragraph is authentic?
The questioner : The one you just read in front of you, since he did not put any comment on it in the footnote.
The Shaykh :
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : How do you know that this is authentic?
The questioner : Because he was silent about it.
The Shaykh : May Allah guide you and them.
The questioner : Amen.

Indeed, Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has assigned to His believing servant two angels who record his deeds. When he dies, the two angels say: He has died. Do you permit us to ascend to the sky? He says: Allah the Exalted says: My sky is full of My angels who glorify Me. They say: Do you permit us to reside on the earth? Allah says: My earth is full of My creation who glorify Me. They say: Then where shall we reside? He says: Go to the grave of My servant and glorify Me, praise Me, say Allahu Akbar, say La ilaha illa Allah, and record that for My servant until the Day of Resurrection.
