It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would have prayed to Allah to let you hear the torment of the grave."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « لَوْلاَ أَنْ لاَ تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ».

Anas bin Malik said: "The Prophet of Allah m said: 'When a person is placed in his grave and his companions turn to leave, he hears the sound of their footsteps. Then two angels come to him and sit him up, and say to him: 'What did you used to say about this man?' As for the believer, he says: 'I bear witness that he is the slave of Allah, and His Messenger.' Then it is said to him: 'Look at your place in the Fire; Allah has substituted it with a place in Paradise."' The Prophet of Allah (s.a.w) said: "He is shown them both." Qatadah said: ''It was said to us that his grave is expanded seventy cubits for him, and it is filled with greenery until the Day they will be resurrected."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِى قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ ». قَالَ « يَأْتِيهِ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ فَيَقُولاَنِ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ ». قَالَ « فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ ». قَالَ « فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَقْعَدًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ ». قَالَ نَبِىُّ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا ». قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يُفْسَحُ لَهُ فِى قَبْرِهِ سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَيُمْلأُ عَلَيْهِ خَضِرًا إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'When the deceased is placed in his grave, he can hear the sound of their footsteps when they leave (after burying him)."'

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ الضَّرِيرُ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِى عَرُوبَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِى قَبْرِهِ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ خَفْقَ نِعَالِهِمْ إِذَا انْصَرَفُوا ».

It was narrated from Al-Bara' bin 'Azib that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world." This was revealed concerning the torment of the grave It will be said to him (in the grave): 'Who is your Lord?' And he will say: 'My Lord is Allah, and my Prophet is Muhammad (s.a.w).' That is what Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He says: "Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world, and in the Hereafter."'

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْعَبْدِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « (يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ) قَالَ « نَزَلَتْ فِى عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْ رَبُّكَ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّىَ اللَّهُ وَنَبِيِّىَ مُحَمَّدٌ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-. فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِى الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِى الآخِرَةِ) ».

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "When the soul of the believer departs, it is received by two angels who take it up." Hammad said: "And he mentioned its good fragrance and he mentioned musk." He said: "The people of heaven say: 'A good soul that has come from the earth. May Allah bless you and the body in which you used to reside.' Then it is taken to its Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, then He says: 'Take it to the Utmost Boundary."' He said: "When the soul of the disbeliever departs" - Hammad said: "and he mentioned its foul stench, and he mentioned curses" - "the people of heaven say: 'An evil soul that has come from the earth.' It is said: 'Take it to the Utmost Boundary."' Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) held a thin cloth that he had with him over his nose, like this."

حَدَّثَنِى عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا بُدَيْلٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ « إِذَا خَرَجَتْ رُوحُ الْمُؤْمِنِ تَلَقَّاهَا مَلَكَانِ يُصْعِدَانِهَا ». قَالَ حَمَّادٌ فَذَكَرَ مِنْ طِيبِ رِيحِهَا وَذَكَرَ الْمِسْكَ. قَالَ « وَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ رُوحٌ طَيِّبَةٌ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَرْضِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكِ وَعَلَى جَسَدٍ كُنْتِ تَعْمُرِينَهُ. فَيُنْطَلَقُ بِهِ إِلَى رَبِّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الأَجَلِ ». قَالَ « وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا خَرَجَتْ رُوحُهُ - قَالَ حَمَّادٌ وَذَكَرَ مِنْ نَتْنِهَا وَذَكَرَ لَعْنًا - وَيَقُولُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ رُوحٌ خَبِيثَةٌ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الأَرْضِ. قَالَ فَيُقَالُ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الأَجَلِ ». قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَرَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- رَيْطَةً كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى أَنْفِهِ هَكَذَا.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "We were with 'Umar between Makkah and Al-Madinah, and we looked for the crescent of the new moon. I was a man with keen eyesight, and I saw it, but no one else said that he had seen it. I said to 'Umar: 'Don't you see it?' But he did not see it. 'Umar said: 'I will see it when I am lying on my bed' "Then he started to tell us about the people of Badr. And he said: 'The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) showed us, one day before, where the people of Badr (the Mushrikun) would fall. He said: "This is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills."' 'Umar said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, they did not miss the places that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had pointed out. They were put in a well on top of one another, then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) went to them and said: "O so-and-so son of so-and-so, and O so-and-so son of so-and-so, have you found what Allah and His Messenger promised to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true."' "Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allah, how can you speak to bodies in which there are no souls?' He said: 'You do not hear what I am saying more clearly than they do, but they cannot give me any reply."'

حَدَّثَنِى إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَلِيطٍ الْهُذَلِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ كُنْتُ مَعَ عُمَرَ ح وَحَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ فَرُّوخَ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ عُمَرَ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَتَرَاءَيْنَا الْهِلاَلَ وَكُنْتُ رَجُلاً حَدِيدَ الْبَصَرِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ وَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ رَآهُ غَيْرِى - قَالَ - فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ لِعُمَرَ أَمَا تَرَاهُ فَجَعَلَ لاَ يَرَاهُ - قَالَ - يَقُولُ عُمَرُ سَأَرَاهُ وَأَنَا مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى فِرَاشِى. ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- كَانَ يُرِينَا مَصَارِعَ أَهْلِ بَدْرِ بِالأَمْسِ يَقُولُ « هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلاَنٍ غَدًا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ». قَالَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَالَّذِى بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَئُوا الْحُدُودَ الَّتِى حَدَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - فَجُعِلُوا فِى بِئْرٍ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَانْطَلَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ « يَا فُلاَنَ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ وَيَا فُلاَنَ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ حَقًّا فَإِنِّى قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِىَ اللَّهُ حَقًّا ». قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تُكَلِّمُ أَجْسَادًا لاَ أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا قَالَ « مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَىَّ شَيْئًا ».

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) left the slain of Badr (the Mushrikun) for three days, then he came to them and stood over them and called out to them: "O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O Umayyah bin Khalaf! O 'Utbah bin Rabi'ah O Shaibah bin Rabi'ah! Have you not found what your Lord promised you to be true? For i have found what my Lord promised me to be true." 'Umar heard what the Prophet (s.a.w) said, and he said: "O Messenger of Allah, how can they hear .and respond when they have started to decay?" He (s.a.w) said: "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you cannot hear what I am saying any better than they can, but they are not able to respond." Then he ordered that they be dragged and thrown into the well of Badr.

حَدَّثَنَا هَدَّابُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِىِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- تَرَكَ قَتْلَى بَدْرٍ ثَلاَثًا ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ فَقَامَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَادَاهُمْ فَقَالَ « يَا أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ يَا أُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ يَا عُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ يَا شَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا فَإِنِّى قَدْ وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِى رَبِّى حَقًّا ». فَسَمِعَ عُمَرُ قَوْلَ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يَسْمَعُوا وَأَنَّى يُجِيبُوا وَقَدْ جَيَّفُوا قَالَ « وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدِهِ مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَقْدِرُونَ أَنْ يُجِيبُوا ». ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَسُحِبُوا فَأُلْقُوا فِى قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever is brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be punished.' I said: 'Didn’t Allah say "He surely, will receive an easy reckoning"? He said: 'That is not the actual reckoning; rather that is the presentation of deeds. Whoever is examined thoroughly at the Reckoning will be punished."'

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَعَلِىُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ جَمِيعًا عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِى مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « مَنْ حُوسِبَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عُذِّبَ ». فَقُلْتُ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا) فَقَالَ « لَيْسَ ذَاكِ الْحِسَابُ إِنَّمَا ذَاكِ الْعَرْضُ مَنْ نُوقِشَ الْحِسَابَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عُذِّبَ ».

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "No one is brought to account but he will be doomed." I said: "O Messenger of Allah, didn't Allah say "...an easy reckoning."? He said: "That is the presentation of deeds. Whoever is examined thoroughly at the Reckoning will be doomed."

وَحَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ الْعَبْدِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى - يَعْنِى ابْنَ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانَ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُونُسَ الْقُشَيْرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى مُلَيْكَةَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُحَاسَبُ إِلاَّ هَلَكَ ». قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا قَالَ « ذَاكِ الْعَرْضُ وَلَكِنْ مَنْ نُوقِشَ الْحِسَابَ هَلَكَ ».

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Whoever is examined thoroughly at the Reckoning will be doomed." Then he (the sub narrator) mentioned a Hadith like that of Abu Yunus (no. 7227).

وَحَدَّثَنِى عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ بِشْرٍ حَدَّثَنِى يَحْيَى - وَهُوَ الْقَطَّانُ - عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِى مُلَيْكَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « مَنْ نُوقِشَ الْحِسَابَ هَلَكَ ». ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ أَبِى يُونُسَ.
