Hadith 26976

حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الْمَاجِشُونَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، قَالَ : كَانَتْ أَسْمَاءُ تُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ : " إِذَا دَخَلَ الْإِنْسَانُ قَبْرَهُ ، فَإِنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا ، أَحَفَّ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ ، الصَّلَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ " , قَالَ : " فَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَلَكُ مِنْ نَحْوِ الصَّلَاةِ ، فَتَرُدُّهُ ، وَمِنْ نَحْوِ الصِّيَامِ ، فَيَرُدُّهُ " , قَالَ : " فَيُنَادِيهِ اجْلِسْ " , قَالَ : " فَيَجْلِسُ ، فَيَقُولُ لَهُ : مَاذَا 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 ؟ قال : أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ " , قَالَ : " يَقُولُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِشْتَ ، وَعَلَيْهِ مِتَّ ، وَعَلَيْهِ تُبْعَثُ " , قَالَ : " وَإِنْ كَانَ فَاجِرًا ، أَوْ كَافِرًا " , قَالَ : " جَاءَ الْمَلَكُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ شَيْءٌ يَرُدُّهُ " , قَالَ : " فَأَجْلَسَهُ " , قَالَ : " يَقُولُ : اجْلِسْ ، مَاذَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ ؟ قَالَ : أَيُّ رَجُلٍ ؟ قَالَ : مُحَمَّدٌ , قَالَ : يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي ، سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا ، فَقُلْتُهُ " , قَالَ : " فَيَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِشْتَ ، وَعَلَيْهِ مِتَّ ، وَعَلَيْهِ تُبْعَثُ " , قَالَ : " وَتُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ دَابَّةٌ فِي قَبْرِهِ ، مَعَهَا سَوْطٌ ، تَمْرَتُهُ جَمْرَةٌ مِثْلُ غَرْبِ الْبَعِيرِ ، تَضْرِبُهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، صَمَّاءُ لَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ فَتَرْحَمَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Asma that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When a person is placed in his grave and he is a believer, his deeds such as prayer and fasting surround him. When the angel of punishment wants to come from the side of the prayer, the prayer stops him; if he wants to come from the side of fasting, the fasting stops him. The angel calls him and tells him to sit, so the person sits up. The angel asks him: What do you say about this man, meaning the Prophet (peace be upon him)? He asks: Which man? The angel says: Muhammad (peace be upon him). He says: I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah. The angel says: You lived upon this, you died upon this, and you will be raised upon this.

And if the deceased is a sinner or a disbeliever, then when the angel comes to him, there is nothing to turn him back. The angel makes him sit and asks: What do you say about this man? The deceased asks: Which man? The angel says: Muhammad (peace be upon him). The deceased says: By Allah, I do not know anything; I used to say what I heard people saying. The angel says: You lived upon this, you died upon this, and you will be raised upon this. Then a creature is set upon him in the grave, which has a whip with a spark at its tip, like the point of a camel. It will keep striking him as long as Allah wills. That creature is deaf and cannot hear any sound, so it will not have mercy on him.
