وَعَنْ جَابِرٌ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:

" إِذَا أُدْخِلَ الْمَيِّتُ الْقَبْرَ مَثَلَتْ لَهُ الشَّمْسُ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِهَا فَيَجْلِسُ يَمْسَحُ عَيْنَيْهِ وَيَقُولُ: دَعونِي أُصَلِّي "

Jabir reported the Prophet as saying, “When a dead man is covered up in his grave he will be shown the setting sun and will sit up, rub his eyes, and say, ‘Let me observe the prayer’." Ibn Majah transmitted it.

Reported by Ibn Majah (No. 4272). Cited in Mishkat al-Masabih (No. 138).
