Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 37427 — The words of Abu Hurayrah

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The soul of the believer is not taken until he sees the glad tidings. Then when his soul is taken, he calls out, and there is no animal in the house, small or large, except that it hears his voice, apart from humans and jinn: Hurry with him to the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. Then when he is placed on the bier, he says: How slowly you people walk! Then when he is placed in his grave, he is made to sit up, and he will be shown his place in Paradise and what Allah has prepared for him, and his grave will be filled with mercy, fragrance and musk. The narrator says: He will say: O my Lord, send me forward. It will be said: Your time has not yet come. You have brothers and sisters who have not yet joined you. But sleep, with your eyes at rest. Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By the One in whose hand is my soul, no well-fed, pampered young man or young woman in this world sleeps a sleep as sweet and as short as that sleep will be, until he raises his head to the glad tidings on the Day of Resurrection.
