«إذا قبر الميت أتاه ملكان أسودان أزرقان يقال لأحدهما المنكر وللآخر النكير فيقولان: ما كنت تقول في هذا الرجل؟ فيقول: ما كان يقول هو: عبد الله ورسوله أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمد عبده ورسوله، فيقولان: قد كنا نعلم أنك تقول، ثم يفسح له في قبره سبعون ذراعا في سبعين ثم ينور له فيه ثم يقال: نم فيقول: أرجع إلى أهلي فأخبرهم، فيقولان: نم كنومة العروس الذي لا يوقظه إلا أحب أهله إليه، حتى يبعثه الله من مضجعه ذلك، وإن كان منافقا قال: سمعت الناس يقولون قولا فقلت مثله لا أدري فيقولان: قد كنا نعلم أنك تقول ذلك فيقال للأرض: التئمي عليه فتلتئم عليه فتختلف أضلاعه فلا يزال فيها معذبا حتى يبعثه الله من مضجعه ذلك»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"When the deceased is buried in the grave, two angels come to him, black in complexion and with blue eyes; one of them is called Munkar and the other Nakir. They both ask: What did you used to say about this man (that is, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him))? He says what he used to say (in the world): He is the servant of Allah and His Messenger; I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger. The angels say: We knew that you would say this. Then his grave is widened for him, seventy cubits long and seventy cubits wide, then it is illuminated for him, and it is said to him: Sleep. He says: I want to go back to my family and give them this good news. The angels say: Sleep like the bride who is woken only by the one among her family who is most beloved to her, until Allah Almighty raises him from this resting place of his. And if he (the deceased) was a hypocrite, he says: I heard the people saying something, so I said the same; I (in reality) knew nothing. The angels say: We knew that you would say this. Then the earth is commanded: Close in upon him. So it becomes so tight upon him that his ribs interlock with one another, and he continues to suffer punishment in it until Allah Almighty raises him from this resting place of his."
