Translation
Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The Believer, when he is brought out from his house, the Angels escort him to his grave, crowding around him until when he ends up to his grave, the ground says to him: ‘Welcome to you and hello. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I used to love it that the likes of you were walking upon me. You shall see what I would be doing with you’. So it expands for him to the extent of his vision, and two Angels of the grave come over to him and they both are seated in the grave, Munkar and Nakeer. So they cast the soul into him up to his waist and sit him upright, and they question him saying to him: ‘Who is your Lord<sup>azwj</sup>?’ So he is saying, ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup>’. So they are saying: ‘What is your Religion?’ So he is saying, ‘Al-Islam’. So they are saying: ‘Who is your Prophet<sup>saww</sup>?’ So he is saying, ‘Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>’. So they are saying, ‘Who is your Imam<sup>asws</sup>?’ So he is saying, ‘So and so’. So a Caller Calls out from the sky: “My<sup>azwj</sup> servant speaks the truth. Furnish for him in his grave from the (furnishings from the) Paradise, and open for him in his grave, a Door to the Paradise. Clothe him from the clothes of the Paradise until he comes to Us<sup>azwj</sup>, and what is with Us<sup>azwj</sup> is better for him”. Then it is said to him: ‘Sleep a sleep of the newly-wed, there being no dream in it’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And if he was an Infidel, the Angels come out escorting him to his grave until when they end up with him to his grave, the earth says to him: ‘You are not welcome at all! By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I used to hate the likes of you when they walked upon me,. However, you shall see what I would be doing with you today’. So it constricts upon him until his two sides collide. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Then two Angels of the grave come over to him, and they are both seated in the grave, Munkar and Nakeer. Abu Baseer said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! Do they both come over to the Believer and the Infidel in one image?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No. They sit him up and cast the soul into him up to his waist, and they are saying to him: ‘Who is your Lord<sup>azwj</sup>?’ So he stammers and would be saying, ‘I had heard the people saying (such and such)’. So they are saying: ‘You do not know’, and they are saying to him: ‘What is your Religion?’ So he stammers, and they are saying to him: ‘You do not know’, and they are saying to him: ‘Who is your Prophet<sup>saww</sup>?’ So he is saying, ‘I had heard the people saying (such and such)’. So they are saying to him: ‘You do not know, and they ask him about the Imam<sup>asws</sup> of his time. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So a Caller Calls out from the sky: “My<sup>azwj</sup> servant lies! Furnish for him in his grave from the Fire, and clothe him from the clothes of the Fire, and open for him a Door to the Fire until he comes to Us<sup>azwj</sup>, and what is with Us<sup>azwj</sup> is more evil for him”. So they strike him with a hammer with three strikes, there not being a strike from it except that it scatters the Fire in his grave. If a mountain were to be struck with that hammer, it would decompose to be like dust’. And Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Cause him to be overcome in his grave by the snakes ravaging him with a ravaging, and the Satan<sup>la</sup> saddening him with a sadness’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And his Punishment is heard by the creatures of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> except for the Jinn and the human beings. And he hears the sound of their shoes stepping, and the scratching of their hands, 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, and Allah Lets the unjust to go astray, and Allah does whatsoever He so Desires to</span>’.
