عَنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ ، سَرِيعًا فِي مَعْصِيَتِهِ فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ شَرًّا . ثُمَّ يُقَيَّضُ لَهُ أَعْمَى أَصَمُّ أَبْكَمُ فِي يَدِهِ مِرْزَبَّةٌ ، لَوْ ضُرِبَ بِهَا جَبَلٌ كَانَ تُرَابًا ، فَيَضْرِبُهُ ضَرْبَةً فَيَصِيرُ تُرَابًا ، ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُ اللَّهُ كَمَا كَانَ ، فَيَضْرِبُهُ ضَرْبَةً أُخْرَى فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً يَسْمَعُهُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ " . قَالَ الْبَرَاءُ : " ثُمَّ يُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ إِلَى النَّارِ ، وَيُمَهَّدُ لَهُ مِنْ فُرُشِ النَّارِ " .
Ahmad recorded, in another narration from that Companion, a report like it, and in it he added these words: "Then a man comes to him with an ugly face, ugly clothes and a foul smell, and says: 'Receive news of disgrace from Allah Almighty and of everlasting punishment; Allah Almighty has sent you word of evil.' He asks: 'Who are you?' He replies: 'I am your wicked deeds. You were slow in obeying Allah Almighty and quick in disobeying Him, so Allah Almighty has repaid you with evil.' Then an angel is appointed over him who is dumb, deaf and blind, with a mace in his hand; if that mace were struck on a mountain, it would turn to dust. The angel strikes the deceased, and the deceased turns to dust. Then Allah Almighty restores him as he was. The angel strikes him again, and the deceased screams a scream that everything hears except the two kinds (that is, mankind and jinn)." Sayyiduna al-Bara' (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then a door to Hell is opened for him, and bedding from Hell is spread for him.
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 .

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.
