ESSALE SAWAAB 2
Narrated Abu Huraira (Ra): The Holy Prophet (saws)said
while standing near the graves of the martyrs of Uhud, “I bear witness
that you are alive in the sight of Allah.” Then turning towards those
present he said, “So visit them, and greet them – I swear by the One in
whose power lies my life, they will answer back to whoever greets them until
the Last Day.” (Hakim, Baihaqi)
“A woman came to the Holy Prophet (saws) and said, ‘ I have given charity
on behalf of my dead mother by giving away her female servant.’ The Holy
Prophet answered, ‘You will have its reward [and so will she] but return the
female servant so that the inheritance [may be properly divided].’ The woman
then said, ‘She used to owe fasts, can I fast on her behalf’ He answered, ‘You
may fast on her behalf.’ The woman then said, ‘She did not perform Hajj, can I
perform on her behalf’ The Holy Prophet answered, ‘Yes. You may perform Hajj on
her behalf.” (Tirmizi)
Syeda A’isha (Allah be well pleased with her) reported that a man said to
Allah’s Apostle (saws): My mother died all of a sudden, and I think if she
(could have the opportunity) to speak she would have (made a will) regarding
Sadaqah’. Will I be entitled to reward if I give charity on her behalf He (the
Holy Prophet) said: “Yes”. (Muslim)
Narrated Sa’d ibn Ubadah (Ra): Sa’d asked: Apostle of Allah, Umm Sa’d has died;
what form of sadaqah is best He replied: Water (is best). He dug a well and
said: It is for Umm Sa’d. (Abu Daud, Mishkaat)
The Holy Prophet said: “Recite Ya Seen over your dead.” (Abu Daud,
Nasai, Ibn Majah)
Jaber reported: We came out with the Holy Prophet (saws) to Saa’d bin Muaz when
he expired. When the Holy Prophet performed his funeral prayer, and he was
buried in his grave and the earth was levelled upon him, the Holy Prophet read
“Tasbeeh” and we also recited “Tasbeeh” for a long time.
Then he recited “Takbeer”, so we too recited “Takbeer”. It
was asked “;O the Messenger of Allah! Why have you recited
“Tasbeeh” and “Takbeer” He said, “The grave became too
narrow for this pious man till Allah made it spacious because of it (the
recitation).” (Ahmed, Mishkaat)
The Holy Prophet (saws) said, “What is credited to a believer of his
action and good deed after his death is any useful knowledge he might have
taught or spread, a Allah-fearing child he might have left behind, a copy of
the Qur’an he might have left to an heir, a mosque he might have built, a house
he might have dedicated for use by travelers, a stream or river he might have
caused to run, a donation to charity (i.e. sadaqah) he might have set aside
when he was enjoying good health. All that catches up with him after his
death.” (Ibn Majah).
A man came to the Prophet Muhammad [Saws] and said ‘My mother has suddenly died and she did not leave any will, but I suspect that if she did that then she would have told me to give something to charity. Now if I offer something in charity on her behalf, will she get the reward?’Prophet Muhammad [Saws] said ‘Yes’. Then the man said that I make you, the Prophet, as my witness, that I offer my garden full of fruits to charity.(Bukhari Muslim, Chapter Al-Wasiha)
Prophet Muhammad [Saws] has said, The status of the deceased is
raised(during their time in the grave), and the deceased ask Allah (Almighty.)
why has this happened, Allah (Almighty.) replies that your son has prayed for
your forgiveness. (Al-Adab, Al-Mufid Chapter Excellency of the Parents by Imam
Bukhari)
When I want to
talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran-
