This Ummah will be tested in their graves. Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would supplicate Allah to make you hear what I hear of the torment of the grave
Chapter: The Deceased Is Shown His Place In Paradise Or The Fire; And Confirmation Of The Torment In The Grave - We Seek Refuge With Allah From That
Authentic
hadith of Sahih Muslim
Sahih Muslim 2867
Abu Sa‘īd al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I did not hear it from the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) but Zayd ibn Thābit reported it to me, as he said: "We were with the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in a garden belonging to Banu An-Najjār and he was riding his mule, when suddenly it swerved and almost dropped him off its back. Then he saw some graves; six, five, or four (This is what Al-Jarīri used to say) and asked: 'Who knows the buried people of these graves?' A man said: 'I do.' He said: 'When did these people die?' The man said: 'They died in the era of polytheism.' He said: 'This Ummah will be tested in their graves. Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would supplicate Allah to make you hear what I hear of the torment of the grave.' Then he turned to us and said: 'Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the Fire.' They said: 'We see refuge with Allah from the punishment of the Fire.' Then he said: 'Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave.' They said: 'We seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave.' Then he said: 'Seek refuge with Allah from trials, the apparent and the hidden thereof.' They said: 'We seek refuge with Allah from trials, the apparent and the hidden thereof.' He said: 'Seek refuge with Allah from the trial of the Anti-Christ.' They said: 'We seek refuge with Allah from the trial of the Anti-Christ.'"
Zayd ibn Thābit relates that while they were with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in a garden belonging to an Ansāri tribe called Banu An-Najjār, and the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was riding his mule when it suddenly swerved from the path, startled and almost dropped him off its back. In that place there were four, five, or six graves, so the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Who knows the buried people in these graves? A man replied: I know them. So he said: If you know them then when did they die? The man answered: They died in the days of polytheism. Then he said: This nation will be tested in their graves, then they will receive either bliss or torment; and if it was not for the fear that you would not bury your dead, I would invoke Allah to let hear some of the punishment of the grave that I hear, for if you hear it, you will cease burying your dead, due to the fear that the screams of the dead would pluck out your hearts, or the fear of exposing your relatives, that their affairs be known. Then he turned to his Companions and said: Ask Allah to protect you from the punishment of the Fire. They said: We seek Allah's protection from the punishment of the Fire. Then he said: Ask Allah to protect you from the punishment of the grave. They said: We seek protection and refuge of Allah from being afflicted with the punishment of the grave. Then he said: Ask Allah to protect you from trials, the apparent and the hidden thereof. They said: We seek protection of Allah from the apparent and hidden trials. Then he said: Ask Allah to protect you from the trial of the Anti-Christ, as he is the greatest trial that will lead to disbelief resulting in eternal punishment in the Fire. They said: We seek protection of Allah from the trial of the Anti-Christ.
Explanation in Arabic
يحكي زيد بن ثابت أنهم بينما هم مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بستان لقبيلة من الأنصار، تُسمى بني النجار، وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يركب على بغلة له، وفجأة مالت بغلته عن الطريق ونفرت به، فكادت أن تسقطه وترميه عن ظهرها، وفي هذا المكان أربعة قبور أو خمسة أو ستة، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : من يعرف أصحاب هذه القبور؟ فقال رجل: أنا أعرفهم، فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم : إذا كنت تعرفهم فمتى ماتوا؟ قال: ماتوا في زمن الشرك، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن هذه الأمة تُمتحن في قبورها، ثم تُنعَّم أو تُعذَّب، فلولا مخافة أن لا تدفنوا أمواتكم؛ لدعوت الله أن يُسمعكم من عذاب القبر الذي أسمعه، فإنكم لو سمعتم ذلك تركتم التدافن من خوف قلع صياح الموتى أفئدتكم، أو خوف الفضيحة في القرائب؛ لئلا يُطَّلع على أحوالهم، ثم أقبل على أصحابه بوجهه فقال صلى الله عليه وسلم : اطلبوا من الله تعالى أن يدفع عنكم عذاب النار، فقالوا: نعتصم بالله من عذاب النار، قال صلى الله عليه وسلم : اطلبوا من الله تعالى أن يدفع عنكم عذاب القبر، قالوا: نعتصم بالله ونلتجئ إليه من أن يصيبنا عذاب القبر، ثم قال صلى الله عليه وسلم : اطلبوا من الله تعالى أن يدفع عنكم الفتن ما ظهر وبان واتضح منها وما خفي، قالوا: نعتصم بالله من الفتن ما ظهر منها وما خفي، فقال: اطلبوا من الله تعالى أن يدفع عنكم فتنة المسيح الدجال؛ فإنه أكبر الفتن حيث يؤدي إلى الكفر المفضي إلى العذاب المخلد في النار، فقالوا: نعتصم بالله من فتنة الدجال.
معجزة للنبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حيث أسمعه الله عذاب القبر.
إثبات عذاب القبر، والامتحان فيه.
مشروعية التعوذ من عذاب النار وعذاب القبر وفتنة الدجال، والفتن كلها.
