Life and death

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Arnrbin Al-Aas(ra) that the Prophet(saws) recited the Words of Allah (swt)that Ibrahim uttered: My Lord! They (the idols) – have misguided lots of people. So who follows me, is verily of me, and Jesus (as) said: If you punish them, they are Your slaves. If You forgive them, You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise. Then he raised his hands and said: 0 Allah! My Ummah, (people) My Ummah and wept. So Allah (swt)said: 0 Jibrael! Go to Muhammad – though your Lord knows best – and ask him: What makes you weep? So Jibrael (as) came to him and asked him (about the matter). Allah’s Messenger (saws) informed him of what he had said – though Allah knows best. When Jibrael reported to Allah, He said: 0 Jibrael! Go back to Muhammad and say: We will please you with regard to your Ummah and We will not cause you any harm. (Muslim).

Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri (ra) : Allah’s Apostle (saws) said, “When the funeral is ready (for its burial) and the people lift it on their shoulders, then if the 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).

If a company of Muslims numbering one hundred pray over a dead person, all of them interceding for him, their intercession for him will be accepted.( Muslim Book 4 Hadith 2071]

“If anyone recites Ya-Sin out of a desire for Allah’s favour, his past sins will be forgiven him; so recite it over those of you who are dying.”Bayhaqi transmitted it in Shu’ab al-Iman.Al-Tirmidhi Hadith No:2178

Narrated Al-Muttalib: When Uthman ibn Maz’un died, he was brought out on his bier and buried. The Prophet (saws) ordered a man to bring him a stone, but he was unable to carry it. The Apostle of Allah (saws) got up and going over to it rolled up his sleeves. [Abu Dawud, Book 20, Number 3200]“

“I forbade you from visiting the graves but now you should visit them” (ibn Majah, Mishkat p.154)

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) : The Prophet (saws)once passed by two Graves and said, “These two persons are being punished not for a major sin (to refrain from). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other used to go about with calumnies(to make enmity between friends).”   The  Prophet (saws) then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into (pieces) and fixed one on each Grave. They said, “O Allah’s Apostle (saws )! Why have you done so?” He replied, “I hope that their punishment might be lessened till these (the pieces of the leaf) become dry.” (Bukhari – Book 4,Hadith 217)

 “My ears are tearful. My heart is full of anguish, but we will only say what pleases our Lord. O Ibrahim! We are indeed grieved over your separation.” [Sahih Bukhari & Sahih Muslim]

“Prophet cast three handfuls of earth on the dead with both hands, that he sprinkled water on the grave of his son Ibrahim, and that he put small pebbles on it.”[ Al-Tirmidhi 1708]
