SOHBATE AULIA / AFFILIATION WITH THE AULIA

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The deceased is bothered in his grave by that which botheres him in his house” (Daylami from A’isha), and “The deceased is bothered by the grieving and wailing of his relatives over him” (Bukhari #1208-10, Muslim #1539-40, Tabarani 25:10), and he (ﷺ) saw someone sitting on a grave (to relieve himself) and told him, “Get off this grave, do not harm the inhabitant of this grave, so he will not harm you” (Ahmad 5:223, Tabarani – Majma’ 3:61, Hakim 3:590, Tahawi 1:515, Abu Nu’aym in Ma’rifat Sahaba #1981). For more, see Suyuti’s Sharh as-Sudur (Ch. 46-48) and ‘Ajluni’s Kashf (#789).

Suyuti (Sharh, Ch. 42) cited 8 narrations to the effect that the souls of the departed are trapped and prevented from reaching their ultimate stations of honor because of unpaid debts, and when payed they are freed; from Tirmidhi (#998-99), Ibn Majah (#2404), Ahmad (2:440, 475, 5:20),

(Mughni 2:426-27) the following:“There is no harm in reciting Qur’an at the graves (of the dead), and it was narrated that Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said, ‘If you enter a graveyard, then recite Ayat ul-Kursi and surat al-Ikhlas 3 times, then say “O Allah, this is on behalf of the occupants of these graves”. And Imam Ahmad used to say that reciting Qur’an at the graves is a bid’a (innovation), but later recanted this view and agreed it was permissible, and did it himself. (Abu Bakr al-Khallal al-Hanbali in his Amr bi’l Ma’ruf (p. 122 #240-41)

… It was also narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said,‘Whoever enters a graveyard and recites surat Ya Siin then their punishment is lightened for them on that day, and he receives rewards equal to the number of people in the grave, and also, ‘whoever visits the grave of his parents and reads Ya Siin for them, then he is forgiven’.” He also wrote: “Any voluntary act of devotion which the Muslim performs, and then gifts its reward to the deceased Muslim, then that deceased Muslim will benefit from it…”

 (Mughni 2:429):“And it is the consensus of the Muslims, in every time and place, that they meet together to recite the Qur’an and donate its rewards to their deceased, without any objection, and because it is authentically narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, ‘the dead is bothered by the wailing of the living over him,’ and Allah is too generous to deliver punishment to them and not deliver reward.”

Imam Nawawi commented on the famous hadith wherein the Prophet (ﷺ) and some Companions passed by two graves, and he said, “they are being punished, but for something minor; as for one of them, he used to carry false tales, and as for the other, he did not used to purify himself from traces of urine,” then he called for a green date-palm stalk and split it in two, and placed one part over one grave and another over the other grave, and said, “Their punishments will be lightened as long as these remain green and do not wither up, in sha’Allah.” Bukhari (#1299, 2554), Muslim (Kitab al-Wasiyya, chapter “on the rewards of charity reaching the dead” #3082-83)

Then Imam Nawawi said (Sharh Sahih Muslim 3:202):“Due to this hadith, the ‘Ulama have declared it recommended (mustahabb) to recite Qur’an at the graves, because if the lessening of punishment could be hoped for from the glorification of a palm stalk, then the recitation of Qur’an is more worthy of this special distinction…and Allah knows best.”

Imam Suyuti in his book Sharh as-Sudur (p. 312-313) also stated that it is authentically established that among the Companions, Abu Barza al-Aslami (as narrated by Ibn ‘Asakir 62:100) and Burayda (as narrated by Bukhari in his Sahih – K Jana’iz) asked to be buried together with two fresh stalks!

Imam Nawawi also advised in his book Minhaj at-Talibin (chapter on funerals): “Whoever visits a grave, let him greet its dweller, recite some Qur’an, and make an invocation for the deceased.”He also said (Adhkar, p. 218), “It is desirable (mustahabb) that one who is visiting the graves recite from the Qur’an what is easy for him to recite, after which, that he invoke Allah on their behalf. Shafi’i stipulated it and his companions all agreed with him.”

Imam Suyuti also records Imam al-Qurtubi, the Maliki scholar and mufassir, as saying that,“As for reciting over the grave, then our companions (Malikis) are categorical that it is lawful, and others say the same.”
