Hadith 3301

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نَعَالِهِمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ، لِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ، فَيُقَالُ: انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ، قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَقْعَدًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا، قَالَ رَوْحٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: فَذَكَرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يُفْسَحُ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَيُمْلَأُ عَلَيْهِ خَضِرًا إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ، ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكِ: قَالَ: وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ أَوِ الْمُنَافِقُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَدْرِي، كُنْتُ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: لَا دَرَيْتَ وَلَا تَلَيْتَ، ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ بِمِطْرَاقٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ضَرْبَةً بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً فَيَسْمَعُهَا مَنْ يَلِيهِ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ: يُضَيَّقُ عَلَيْهِ قَبْرُهُ حَتَّى تَخْتَلِفَ أَضْلَاعُهُ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person is placed in the grave and the people (after his burial) return, he hears the sound of their footsteps. Then two angels come to him, make him sit up, and ask him about Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): What do you say about this man? The believing deceased says: I bear witness that he is the servant and Messenger of Allah. He is told: Look towards your place in Hell; Allah has prepared a place for you in Paradise instead of that. He looks at both his places, and his grave is expanded for him as far as seventy cubits until the Day of Resurrection, and it is filled with fresh blessings for him. As for the disbeliever or hypocrite, he is also asked the same question: What do you say about this person (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him)? He says: I do not know; I used to say what the people said, (but now I have no knowledge of anything). He is told: You neither understood nor recited. Then a blow is struck between his ears with an iron hammer, due to which he screams so loudly that all creatures near him hear his cry except for jinn and mankind, and his grave is made so tight for him that his ribs interlock with each other.
