Musnad Ahmedlt was narrated that Abul Aswad al-Deeli said:
When I came to Madinah, sickness was occurring in the city. `Abdus-Samad said: They were dying quickly. I sat with "Umar bin al-Khattab and a funeral passed by. Good things were said about (the deceased) and ‘Umar said: It is due. Then another (funeral) passed by: good things were said about (the deceased) and he said: It is due, Then another funeral passed by: bad things were said about the deceased and ‘Umar said: It is due, I said: What is due, O Ameer al Mu"mineen? He said: I say what the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Any Muslim in whose favour four people testify, Allah will admit him to Paradise." We said: Or three? He said: “Or three." We said: Or two? He said: “Or two." Then we did not ask him about one.
