سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِذَا وُضِعَ الرَّجُلُ فِي قَبْرِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ مَلَكٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ مَلَكٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ أُقِيمَ الشَّيْطَانُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ عَيْنَاهُ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ كَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي كَانَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْكُمْ قَالَ فَيَفْزَعُ لَهُ فَزْعَةً فَيَقُولُ إِذَا كَانَ مُؤْمِناً أَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) تَسْأَلَانِي فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ نَمْ نَوْمَةً لَا حُلُمَ فِيهَا وَ يُفْسَحُ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ تِسْعَةُ أَذْرُعٍ وَ يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ إِذَا كَانَ كَافِراً قَالَا لَهُ مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي خَرَجَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْكُمْ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدْرِي فَيُخَلِّيَانِ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الشَّيْطَانِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘When the man is placed in his grave, two Angels come over to him, an Angel upon his right and an Angel upon his left, and the Satan<sup>la</sup> stands in front of him, his<sup>la</sup> eyes being (the colour of) of brass. So it is said to him: ‘What are you saying regarding the man who was in between you (and us)?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So he is seized by a panic, and he is saying, if he was a Believer, ‘Is it about Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> that you are questioning me?’ So they are saying to him: ‘Sleep a sleep in which there are no dreams’, and they expand his grave by nine cubits, and he sees his seat from the Paradise, and these are the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:14#h27"><a href="/books/quran:14#h27">[14:27]</a></a> Allah Affirms those who believe with the firm Word in the life of the world and in the Hereafter</span>. And when it was an Infidel, they both say to him: ‘Who is this man who has appeared in between you (and us)’. So he is saying, ‘I do not know’. So they both leave him (to be with) the Satan<sup>la</sup>’.
