Dead can hear from Graves -Proof from Quran and Sahih hadiths
Those muslims who are in graves
and Prophets [Peace be upon them] not only hear but even reply from the grave
and also become a Waseela. (Non muslims can hear in graves but do not
have capability to reply)
(Quran 7/79) Here Salih (a.s) is addressing
his dead people who had already been destroyed, had dead not heard then
Nauzobillah this ayah of Quran would have been illogical, secondly what is the
meaning of Salih (a.s)’s address?
Hadrat Salih (a.s) said these words after they were “DESTROYED AND THEY HEARD
THE WORDS TOO” In relevance to this It is narrated in the 2 books of Sahih
(i.e. Bukhari and Muslim) that the Messenger (saw) defeated the kufaar in
Badr … [then Imam Ibn Kathir mentions the sahih hadith in which Prophet clearly
said that they (dead) hear better than you (alive) [Tafsir Ibn Kathir under
7:79]
Quran states: Lo! those who ward off (evil), when a glamour from the devil troubleth them, they do but remember (Allah’s Guidance) and behold them seers! (Quran 7/201).
Imam Ibn Kathir narrates under this ayah: A young boy used
to do (a lot) of worship in Masjid, however one woman fell in love with him and
she started to attract him towards herself until one day he got persuaded
and came to her house, but he recalled this ayah: { Lo! those who ward off
(evil), when a glamour from the devil troubleth them, they do but remember (Allah’s
Guidance) and behold them seers}, he fainted right over there, when he
recovered he remembered the ayah again and fainted once again but this time he
passed away. After his death Sayyidna Umar (ra) met his father being
saddened at his death, (the boy) was buried during night, Umar (ra) took his
companions along and visited his grave, he prayed there and “Called the Boy”
saying: Whosoever feared to stand in front of his Lord then there are 2 gardens
for him! Voice came from the grave O (YA) Omar (ra) Allah has granted me both
the gardens [Tafsir Ibn Kathir,Under 7:201]
“The Messenger of Allah spoke to the People (buried) in the Well saying:
“Have you found out that what your Lord had promised you is true?”
then someone exclaimed: “Are you calling out to the dead!” The
Prophet replied: “You do not hear better than they do, except they do
not respond.” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 452)
….. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, what I am saying to them, even you
cannot hear more distinctly than they, but they lack the power to reply.
Then’he commanded that they should be buried in the well of Badr.[Sahih
Muslim, Hadith # 6869]
Note: Even Kafirs who are Dead
can hear more clearly then alive can or equally let alone be Muslims and
Prophets (aleh islam).But Kafirs cannot reply back according to this hadith,
Where as muslims have the ability to reply as proved above .
….”Some of the Prophet’s
companions said, “O Allah’s Apostle! You are addressing dead people.’ Allah’s
Apostle replied, ‘You do not hear what I am saying, better than they.'[Sahih
Bukhari, Book 59, Number 360]
Allah has declared it forbidden for the earth to eat the bodies of the prophets. So the prophets are living and they receive their sustenance(Ibn Majah b. of jana’iz (funerals) ch.65 (1:524#1636-7), Abu Dawud, Sunan, b. of salat (prayer) 1:275 (#1047))
Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri : Allah’s Apostle ﷺ said, “When the funeral is ready (for its burial) and the people lift it on their shoulders, then if deceased is a righteous person he says, ‘Take me ahead,’ and if he is not a righteous one then he says, ‘Woe to it (me)! Where are you taking it (me)?’ And his voice is audible to everything except human beings; and if they heard it they would fall down unconscious.”(Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 23, Number 462
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath Ali(ra)
