Life after death 12
Hani,’Uthman Bin ‘Affan’s (ra)servant, said that whenever ‘Uthman stood over a grave, he would cry until he soaked his beard. He was told, “You remember Jannah and the Fire without weeping, but you weep when you remember the grave!” He replied, “Indeed, I heard Allah’s Messenger(saws)say:The grave is the first of the hereafter’s domiciles; if one passes through it safely, what follows will be easier; and if one does not pass through it safely, what follows will be more horrible And I heard Allah’s Messenger (saws)say I have never seen a dreadful view but the grave is even more dreadful’.(tirmidhi)
Abu Hurayrah(ra)reported that Allah’s Messenger(saws)said:Indeed, a dying person is witnessed by angels. If he were righteous, he (the Angel of Death) says, “Depart, O good soul that inhabited a good body; depart in a praised state; and receive glad tidings of happiness, sweet aromas, and a Lord who is not angry.” He continues to say this until it leaves the body. It is then taken up to the (first) heaven, where permission is sought for it to be admitted. It is said, “Who is this?” He (an angel) replies, “So and so.” It is then said, “Welcome, good soul that inhabited a good body; enter in a praised state; and receive glad tidings of happiness, sweet aromas, and a Lord who is not angry.” This repeats (in every heaven), until it finally reaches the (seventh) heaven above which is Allah (swt) As for an evil man, he (the Angel of Death) says, “Depart, O malicious soul that inhabited a malicious body; depart in a condemned state; and receive evil tidings of boiling fluids and dirty wound discharges (to drink), and other types of suffering of similar nature – all paired together.” This continues to be said until it leaves the body. It is then taken up to the (first) heaven, where permission is sought for it to be admitted. It is said, “Who is this?” He (an angel) replies, “So and so.” It is then said, “Unwelcome, malicious soul that inhabited a malicious body; return in a condemned state, because the gates to the heavens will not open for you.” Thus it is sent down from the heaven, and it enters the grave. The pious person sits in his grave without fear or terror. He is asked, “What did you do?” He replies, “I adhered to Islam.” He is then asked, “Who is that man?” He replies: “Muhammad, Allah’s Messenger (saws) He brought to us clear signs from Allah; and we believed him.” He is then asked, “Did you see Allah?” He replies, “It is not possible for anyone to see Allah (in the first life).” An opening is made (from his grave) to the Fire, so that he sees its various sections crushing each other. He is told, “Look at that from which Allah(swt) has saved you.” Another opening is then made (from his grave) in the direction of Jannah; and he views its grandeur and the things (bounties) in it. He is then told, “This will be your position. You lived with certitude (about Allah’s promises); upon it you died; and upon it you will be raised – when Allah (swt) wills.” The evil person is made to sit in his grave in a state of fear and terror. He is asked, “What did you do?” He replies, “I do not know.” He is asked, “Who is that man?” He replies, “I heard the people say things; and I said the same.” An opening then appears (from his grave) in the direction of Jannah; and he views its grandeur and the things (bounties) in it. He is told, “Look at that from which Allah (swt) has deprived you.” Another opening appears (from his grave) to the Fire; and he observes its various sections crushing each other. He is told, “This will be your abode; in doubt you lived; upon it you died; and upon it you will be raised – when Allah wills.”(ibn majah)
Once, Sayyiduna Rasoolullah(saws)came out wearing his tahband. Someone saw it and requested him for it. The Sahaaba replied, “The Prophet(saws)” had a need for the tahband at that time but rejecting someone who asks from him was not his habit.” When they asked the man why he requested it, he explained. “Oath on Allah(swt)! I did not ask for it to ear it, but that it, but that it may become my kafn. Sahl states that this tahband eventually did become his kafn. – Bukhari, Vol. 1, Kitaabul-Janaaiz, Baabu Man A’adal-Kafn
