Hadith 3303

عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ فَتَّانِي الْقَبْرِ، فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ تُبْتَلَى فِي قُبُورِهَا، فَإِذَا أُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنُ قَبْرَهُ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ جَاءَ مَلَكٌ شَدِيدُ الْانْتِهَارِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ: إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَعَبْدُهُ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ: انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي النَّارِ، قَدْ أَنْجَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَأَبْدَلَكَ بِمَقْعَدِكَ الَّذِي تَرَى مِنَ النَّارِ مَقْعَدَكَ الَّذِي تَرَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَرَاهُمَا كِلَاهُمَا، فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ: دَعُونِي، أُبَشِّرُ أَهْلِي، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اسْكُنْ، وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ فَيُقْعَدُ إِذَا تَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَهْلُهُ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لَا أَدْرِي، أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: لَا دَرَيْتَ، هَذَا مَقْعَدُكَ الَّذِي كَانَ لَكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ، قَدْ أُبْدِلْتَ مَكَانَهُ مَقْعَدَكَ مِنَ النَّارِ))، قَالَ جَابِرٌ: فَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((يُبْعَثُ كُلُّ عَبْدٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ عَلَى مَا مَاتَ، الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى إِيمَانِهِ، وَالْمُنَافِقُ عَلَى نِفَاقِهِ))
Abu Zubair says: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) about the angels who put people to trial in the grave. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say about this: People are tested in their graves. When a believer is placed in his grave and people return after burying him, a very awe-inspiring angel comes to him and says: What do you say about this person (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him)? The believer replies: He is the Messenger and servant of Allah. The angel says to him: Look at your place in Hell from which Allah has saved you, and look at your place which Allah Almighty has given you as a substitute for that place in Hell. Then he sees both places and says: Let me go, so I may give glad tidings to my family. But it is said to him: Stay. As for the hypocrite, when people return after burying him, he is made to sit and is asked: What do you say about this person (Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him)? He says: I do not know, I just used to say what other people used to say. So it is said to him: You did not understand. This was your place in Paradise, but now in exchange for it, this is your place in Hell. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I also heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that every person will be raised on the same belief on which he died, that is, the believer on faith and the hypocrite on hypocrisy.
