Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 4268

وَعَنْ أَسْمَاءَ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ : " إِذَا دَخَلَ الْإِنْسَانُ قَبْرَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا أَحَفَّ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ . قَالَ : فَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَلَكُ مِنْ نَحْوِ الصَّلَاةِ فَيَرُدُّهُ ، وَمِنْ نَحْوِ الصِّيَامِ فَيَرُدُّهُ ، [ قَالَ ] : فَيُنَادِيهِ : اجْلِسْ . قَالَ : فَيَجْلِسُ ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ : مَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ ؟ - يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : مَنْ ؟ قَالَ : مُحَمَّدٌ . قَالَ : [ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ : وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ ؟ أَدْرَكْتَهُ ؟ قَالَ ] : أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : يَقُولُ : عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِشْتَ ، وَعَلَيْهِ مِتَّ ، وَعَلَيْهِ تُبْعَثَ .
قَالَ : وَإِنْ كَانَ فَاجِرًا أَوْ كَافِرًا قَالَ : جَاءَهُ مَلَكٌ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ شَيْءٌ يَرُدُّهُ قَالَ : فَأَجْلَسَهُ قَالَ : اجْلِسْ مَاذَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ ؟ قَالَ : أَيُّ رَجُلٍ . قَالَ : مُحَمَّدٌ . [ قََالَ ] : يَقُولُ : مَا أَدْرِي - وَاللَّهِ - سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ . قَالَ : [ فَيَقُولُ ] لَهُ الْمَلَكُ : عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِشْتَ ، وَعَلَيْهِ مِتَّ ، وَعَلَيْهِ تُبْعَثَ . وَتُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ دَابَّةٌ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَعَهَا سَوْطٌ ثَمَرَتُهُ جَمْرَةٌ مِثْلُ [ عَرْفِ ] الْبَعِيرِ ، تَضْرِبُهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، صَمَّاءُ لَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ فَتَرْحَمَهُ " .
قُلْتُ : لَهَا فِي الصَّحِيحِ حَدِيثٌ غَيْرُ هَذَا .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَرَوَى الطَّبَرَانِيُّ مِنْهُ طَرَفًا فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ .
Sayyidah Asma' (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "When a person enters his grave, if he is a believer, his deeds, namely prayer and fasting, surround him. The angel tries to come from the side of the prayer, and the prayer turns him back; he tries to come from the side of the fasting, and the fasting turns him back. Then the angel calls out to him: 'Sit up.' The servant sits up, and the angel asks him: 'What do you say about this man?', meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He says: 'Which man?' The angel says: 'Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' The deceased says: 'I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah.' The angel says: 'How did you know that? Did you live in his time?' He answers: 'I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah.' The angel says: 'Upon this belief you lived, upon it you died, and upon it you will be raised again.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If the deceased is a sinner or a disbeliever, an angel comes to him, and there is nothing between him and the deceased to turn the angel back. The angel makes him sit and says: 'Sit up. What do you say about this man?' He asks: 'Which man?' The angel answers: 'Sayyiduna Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' The deceased says: 'I do not know. By Allah, I heard the people saying something, so I said it.' The angel says to him: 'Upon this belief you lived, upon it you died, and upon it you will be raised again.' A creature is set upon him in his grave, holding a whip whose tip is a live coal, like a camel's mane. It beats him as much as Allah wills. It is deaf and does not hear his cries, so that it might have mercy on him." (Allamah al-Haythami says:) A hadith from this lady is reported in the Sahih, other than this one.
Ahmad recorded it. Al-Tabarani recorded part of this report in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. The narrators of Ahmad are the narrators of the Sahih.
