Is his saying: (Hellfire is decreed for him) a report about the man's state and his final outcome?

The questioner : We have previously taken the position that the one who washes the deceased should cover up for people and not report it, so that the man is not exposed. When the funeral procession passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: , and then when he was asked, he said: , as if he informed the Muslims that this man was bad.
The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is the legislator, and he mentions such things for the sake of warning, warning people not to do so. And this man was spoken of in the worst terms, not for what they saw when he was being washed, but for what they saw of his conduct. That man’s outward appearance was one of righteousness, for example, and this washer washed him and found in him what indicates a bad ending, may Allah protect us from that. It is not like this case; those who spoke ill of him had prior indications.
