পৃষ্ঠা 18: দ্বিতীয় অধ্যায়: মৃত ব্যক্তি কবরে প্রবেশের পর কবরের সরাসরি সম্বোধন

Baqiyyah ibn al-Walid narrated from Abu Bukayr ibn Abi Maryam, from al-Haytham ibn Malik al-Ta'i, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'A'idh, from Abu al-Hajjaj al-Thumali, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The grave says to the deceased when he is placed into it: 'Woe unto you, O son of Adam! What deceived you concerning me? Did you not know that I am the house of trial, the house of darkness, the house of solitude, and the house of worms? What deceived you concerning me, when you used to pass by me strutting arrogantly?'"

He said: "If he was righteous, a respondent on behalf of the grave answers for him, saying: 'Have you considered if he used to enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong?' He said: The grave then says: 'In that case, I shall turn into lush greenery for him, his body shall turn into light, and his soul shall ascend to Allah the Exalted.'" It was recorded by Ibn Abi al-Dunya, Abu Ahmad, and al-Hakim in Kitab al-Kuna. He said: Abu al-Hajjaj al-Thumali, whose name is 'Abdullah ibn 'Ubayd, and it is also said 'Abdullah ibn 'Abd, was a Companion.

This statement was also narrated by Mu'awiyah ibn Salih, who said: An informant informed me from 'Amr ibn 'A'idh al-Azdi, from Ghudayf ibn al-Harith al-Kindi, who heard 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As saying: "When the servant is placed in his grave...", and he mentioned something similar. It was recorded by Abu al-Hasan ibn al-Bara' from 'Ali ibn al-Madini, from Zayd ibn al-Hubab, from Mu'awiyah. It was likewise narrated by Yahya ibn Jabir al-Ta'i from Ibn 'A'idh al-Azdi, and this mawquf narration is more authentic.

Muhammad ibn Ayyub al-Ramli narrated from his father, from al-Awza'i, from Ibn al-Munkadir, from Jabir, who raised it to the Prophet (ﷺ), saying: "Indeed, the grave has a tongue with which it speaks, saying: 'O son of Adam, how did you forget me? Did you not know that I am the house of loneliness, the house of estrangement, the house of worms, and the house of constriction, except for that which Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, expands?'" Ayyub ibn Suwayd has weakness in him, and his son Muhammad is abandoned (matruk).

Abu Bakr 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Ja'far, the Hanbali jurist, said in the book al-Shafi fi al-Fiqh: Isma'il ibn Ibrahim al-Shirazi narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Hammadah narrated to us, saying: It was read to 'Abd al-Razzaq while I was present, from al-Thawri, from al-A'mash, from al-Minhal ibn 'Amr, from Zadhan, from al-Bara' ibn 'Azib, who said: We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for a funeral, and we found that the grave had not yet been hollowed out into a niche (lahd). So he sat down, and we sat around him. Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When the deceased is placed in his grave, then..."
