The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - عَنِ اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -قَالَ: { نَفْسُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِ مُعَلَّقَةٌ بِدَيْنِهِ, حَتَّى يُقْضَى عَنْهُ } رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ, وَاَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَحَسَّنَهُ 1 .1 - صحيح. رواه أحمد (2/440 و 475 و 508)، والترمذي (1078) و (1079)، وقال الترمذي: "هذا حديث حسن". قلت: هو صحيح؛ إذ له شواهد عن أربعة من الصحابة ذكرتها "بالأصل".
Abu Hurairah (RAA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah said, "A believer‘s soul remains suspended according to his debt until it is settled or paid off on his behalf". Related by Ahmad and At-Tirmidhi.
