হাদিস 99: কবর, মৃতদের রুহ ও বরযখ জগতের সার্বিক বিবরণ

Abu 'Abd Allah ibn Buhayr narrated to me: Al-Hasan ibn Furat, a shaykh from the people of the frontier (al-Thaghr), narrated to me, and he mentioned of his virtue that he was present with al-Fazari (meaning Abu Ishaq) one day, when a man came to him and asked him concerning the repentance of a grave-robber, 'Is there any repentance for him?' He replied, 'Yes, if his intention is sound and Allah knows truthfulness from him.' The man then said, 'I used to dig up graves, and I would find certain people whose faces were turned away from the Qiblah.' Al-Fazari had no answer concerning this matter, so he wrote to al-Awza'i informing him of the grave-robber's case. Al-Awza'i wrote back, 'His repentance is accepted if his intention is sound and Allah knows the truthfulness of his words. As for his statement that he used to find people whose faces were turned away from the Qiblah, those were people who died upon other than the Sunnah.'
