اُردوEn
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا وَضِعَتِ الْجَنَازَةُ، وَاحْتَمَلَهَا الرِّجَالُ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ، فَإِنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قَالَتْ قَدِّمُونِي، وَإِنْ كَانَتْ غَيْرَ صَالِحَةٍ قَالَتْ يَا وَيْلَهَا، أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا الْإِنْسَانَ، وَلَوْ سَمِعَهَا الْإِنْسَانُ لَصَعِقَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the deceased is placed on the bier and men lift it onto their shoulders, if the deceased was righteous, it says: "Take me forward," and if it was not righteous, it says: "Alas! Where are you taking me?" Every creature except humans hears its voice, and if humans were to hear it, they would fall unconscious.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning and purport of this hadith should be accepted without reinterpretation (ta’wil), that Allah Ta’ala creates awareness (consciousness) in the deceased and grants him the ability to speak, while He is capable of everything.
