Benefits: … The period from a person’s death until their resurrection is called the realm of Barzakh, which is a specific type of life, and various states of it have been described in the noble ahadith. One such state is mentioned in this hadith: when the sons of the Ummah send salutations (du‘a for peace) upon you, O Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, Allah Most High returns your soul to you, and you sallallahu alayhi wa sallam respond to their greeting.
