If neighbours witness that the dead was pious Allah forgives him
If neighbours witness that the dead was pious Allah forgives him
96) Anas narrated that the Prophet said: If any Muslim dies and four of his closest neighbours witness that he was pious, Allah says: I approve what you know about him, and forgive him (what you do not know).
(This Haditb is fairly good and reported by Ahmad and AI-Hakim).

People are the witnesses of Allah in this world. What all Muslims agree upon is very often right.
