WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER GOING IN TO THE GRAVE? OUR BELOVED PROPHET MUHAMMED SALLALLAHU ALAIHI WASALLAM SAID THE DETAILS.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER GOING IN TO THE GRAVE? OUR BELOVED PROPHET MUHAMMED (PBUH) SAID THE DETAILS.

Bara Ibne Azib Radiyallahu anhuma narrates: We went out with Rasulullahu Sallallahu alaihi wasallam along with the funeral of a man from the Ansar until we reached the grave; which had not yet been completely dug. So, Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam sat and we sat around him in silence as though birds perched upon our heads, and in his hand was a stick with which he was making marks on the ground.(its use to happen in tense) He then raised his head and said two times or three times: “Seek refuge in Allah from the Punishment of the grave”. He then said: (When a believer is buried in the grave), and two angels will approach the buried person and make him sit, and then they will ask him: Who is your Rabb? He will reply: My Rabb is Allah. Then they will ask him: What is your Religion? He will reply: My religion is Islam. Then they will ask him: What do you say about this man who was sent to you? He will reply: He is the Messenger of Allah. Then they will ask him: What makes you certain about that?  He will reply: I read the book of Allah and I believed and I testified in it. Then, a caller will announce from the heavens; my slave has said the truth so spread for him bedding from Paradise and dress him from the clothes of Paradise, and open for him a window towards Paradise. The joy, pleasant breeze and fragrances of Paradise will reach him, and the grave will be expanded for him as far as his eye can see.

Then Rasulullah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam mentioned about the death of an unbeliever: Verily, the soul of an unbeliever shall be returned to his body. Two angles’ will approach him, and make him sit, and ask him: Who is your Rabb? He will reply: Alas alas! I do not know! Then they will ask him: What is your Religion? He will reply: Alas alas! I do not know! Then they will ask him: What do you say about this man who was sent to you? He will reply: Alas alas! I do not know! At this, a Caller from the heavens will announce: He has lied, So spread for him a bedding of the Fire, and clothes him with the Fire, and open for him a window to the Fire, that its heat and scorching wind reach him, and his grave will close upon him until his ribs are intertwined.

Note: The announcement from the heavens about an unbeliever, “he has lied”, means that he is pretending to be ignorant; though in fact he had refuted Allah’s Oneness, His Prophet and Islam.

HADITH: MARIFUL HADITH

Abu Saeed Radiyallahu anu narrates that Rasulullah Salallahu alaihi wasallam, while entering his Masjid saw some person laughing in a manner that their teeth were visible. He said Behold!  If you frequently remember the destroyer of pleasures, that is, death.it will distract you what I am seeing (your excessive laughing). So remember frequently the destroyer of pleasures, that is, death. For verily not a single day passes upon the grave but that it cries out saying: I am the house of exile; and I am the house of loneliness; and I am the house of dust; and I am the house of worms.
When a believing slave of Allah is buried, the grave says to him: You are most welcome! Indeed, you were the most beloved to me of all those who use to walk upon me. So now, when you have been placed in my charge and you have been brought to me, you will see my excellent treatment. Rasulallah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam then said: So the grave expands for him as far as the eye can see; and a door of Paradise is opened for him.
And when an immoral slave of Allah or an unbeliever is buried, the grave says to him; You are most unwelcome! Indeed you were the most despised by me of all those who used to walk upon me. So today, as you have been placed in my charge, and you have been brought to me, you will soon see my treatment towards you. Rasulallah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam said: The grave then closes on him until its one side meets the other, and his ribs get intermingled; Rasulallah Sallallahu alaihi wasallam then (illustrating) placed the fingers (of one hand) between the fingers (of the other hand). He added: Allah sends upon him seventy serpents; if one of them were to breathe upon the earth, it would not produce any crops as long as the world remained; they will go on biting and lacerating him until he is brought forth for his Account on the Day of Resurrection.
Rasulallah Sallalhu alaihi wasallam said: The Grave is either a garden from among the garden of Paradise or a pit from among the pits of Hell.
