Hadith 31:16

Abu Amir narrated to us, Abbad—meaning Ibn Rashid—narrated to us, from Dawud ibn Abi Hind, from Abu Nadrah, from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri, who said: I witnessed a funeral with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "O people, this nation is tested in its graves. When a person is buried and his companions depart from him, an angel comes to him with a hammer in his hand and makes him sit up. He says: 'What do you say about this man?' If he is a believer, he says: 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.' He says: 'You have spoken the truth.' Then a door to the Fire is opened for him, and he says: 'This would have been your dwelling had you disbelieved in your Lord, but since you believed, this is your dwelling.' Then a door to Paradise is opened for him, and he wishes to rise toward it, but he says to him: 'Remain calm,' and his grave is expanded for him. If he is a disbeliever or a hypocrite, he says to him: 'What do you say about this man?' He says: 'I do not know; I heard the people saying something.' He says: 'You did not know, you did not recite, and you were not guided.' Then a door to Paradise is opened for him, and he says: 'This would have been your dwelling had you believed in your Lord, but since you disbelieved in Him, Allah the Almighty has replaced it for you with this.' Then a door to the Fire is opened for him, and he strikes him a blow with the hammer that everything Allah has created hears, except for the two heavy ones (jinn and mankind)." Some of the people said: "O Messenger of Allah, there is no one over whom an angel stands with a hammer in his hand but that he would be terrified at that." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said: "Allah keeps firm those who believe with the firm word" [Ibrahim: 27].

حدثنا أبو عامر، حدثنا عباد يعني ابن راشد، عن داود بن أبي هند، عن أبي نضرة، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: شهدت مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جنازة، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " أيها الناس إن هذه الأمة تبتلى في قبورها، فإذا الإنسان دفن فتفرق عنه أصحابه، جاءه ملك في يده مطراق فأقعده، قال: ما تقول في هذا الرجل؟ فإن كان مؤمنا قال: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأن محمدا عبده ورسوله، فيقول: صدقت ثم يفتح له باب إلى النار، فيقول: هذا كان منزلك لو كفرت بربك، فأما إذ آمنت فهذا منزلك، فيفتح له باب إلى الجنة، فيريد أن ينهض إليه فيقول له: اسكن ويفسح له في قبره، وإن كان كافرا أو منافقا يقول له: ما تقول في هذا الرجل؟ فيقول: لا أدري سمعت الناس يقولون شيئا، فيقول: لا دريت، ولا تليت، ولا اهتديت، ثم يفتح له باب إلى الجنة فيقول: هذا منزلك لو آمنت بربك، فأما إذ كفرت به فإن الله عز وجل أبدلك به هذا، ويفتح له باب إلى النار، ثم يقمعه قمعة بالمطراق يسمعها خلق الله كلهم غير الثقلين " فقال بعض القوم: يا رسول الله، ما أحد يقوم عليه ملك في يده مطراق إلا هيل عند ذلك، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت " [إبراهيم:27] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
