(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ
قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " دَخَلَ نَخْلًا لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا ، فَفَزِعَ ، فَقَالَ : مَنْ أَصْحَابُ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورِ ؟ قَالُوا : يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ، نَاسٌ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، قَالَ : " تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ، وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ ، وَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ " ، قَالُوا : وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ تُبْتَلَى فِي قُبُورِهَا ، فَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ ، أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ ، فَسَأَلَهُ : مَا كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُ ؟ فَإِنِ اللَّهُ هَدَاهُ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ ؟ قَالَ : فَيَقُولُ : هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ، قَالَ : فَمَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ غَيْرَهَا ، قَالَ : فَيُنْطَلَقُ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتٍ كَانَ لَهُ فِي النَّارِ ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : هَذَا بَيْتُكَ كَانَ فِي النَّارِ ، وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَصَمَكَ وَرَحِمَكَ ، فَأَبْدَلَكَ بِهِ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، فَيَقُولُ : دَعُونِي حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ فَأُبَشِّرَ أَهْلِي ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : اسْكُنْ ، وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ ، أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ : مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ ؟ فَيَقُولُ : كُنْتُ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ . فَيَضْرِبُهُ بِمِطْرَاقٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ ، فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً فَيَسْمَعُهَا الْخَلْقُ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person is buried and his companions leave, the deceased hears the sound of their footsteps. Then two angels come and make him sit up and ask him about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "What do you know about this man?" If he is a believer, he says: "I bear witness that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the servant of Allah and His Messenger." Then a door to Hell is opened for him and it is said to him: "If you had disbelieved in your Lord, this would have been your abode. But since you believed in Him, your abode is elsewhere." Then a door to Paradise is opened for him, his grave is expanded seventy cubits, and greenery is poured upon him. And if he is a disbeliever or a hypocrite, when the angel asks him: "What do you know about this man?" he replies: "I do not know anything, I only heard people saying something." The angel says to him: "You neither knew nor recited nor were guided." Then the angel strikes him with such a blow from his mace that all of Allah's creation except jinn and mankind hear its sound. Some narrators also say that his grave is made so narrow that his ribs interlock with each other.
