The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the garden of the palm trees of Banu al-Najjar. He heard a voice and was terrified. He asked: Who are the people buried in these graves? The people replied: Messenger of Allah! These are some people who died in the pre-Islamic times. He said: Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the fire, and the trail of Antichrist. They asked: Why is it that, Messenger of Allah? He said: When a man is placed in his grave, an angel comes to him and says to him: Whom did you worship? Allah then guides him and he says: I worshiped Allah. He is then asked: What was your opinion of this man? He replies: He is Allah’s servant and His Apostle. He will not then be asked about anything else. He will then be taken to his abode in Hell and will be told: This was your abode in Hell, but Allah protected you and had mercy on you substituted for you an abode in Paradise for it. He will say: Leave me so that I may go and give glad tidings to my family. He will be told: Dwell. When an infidel is placed in his grave, an angel comes to him, reprimands him and asks him: Whom did you worship? He replies: I do not know. He will be told: You neither knew nor did you follow(the believers). He is then asked: What was your opinion on this man? He replies: I held the opinion that the other people held. He will then give him a blow between his ears with an iron hammer and will utter a shout which will be heard by all the creatures(near him) with the exception of men and jinn.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ دَخَلَ نَخْلًا لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا فَفَزِعَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورِ؟ قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ نَاسٌ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ قَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ وَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ قَالُوا وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ تُبْتَلَى فِي قُبُورِهَا فَإِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَسَأَلَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُ؟ فَإِنِ اللهُ هَدَاهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَعْبُدُ اللهَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ فَمَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ غَيْرِهَا فَيُنْطَلَقُ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتٍ كَانَ لَهُ فِي النَّارِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ هَذَا بَيْتُكَ كَانَ فِي النَّارِ وَلَكِنَّ اللهَ عَصَمَكَ وَرَحِمَكَ فَأَبْدَلَكَ بِهِ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ دَعُونِي حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ فَأُبَشِّرَ أَهْلِي فَيُقَالُ لَهُ اسْكُنْ وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُفَيَضْرِبُهُ بِمِطْرَاقٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً فَيَسْمَعُهَا الْخَلْقُ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ  

"When a person is put in his grave and his companions leave him, he hears the sound of their sandals. Two angels come to him, making him sit up, and say to him: 'What did you say about this man (Muhammad)?' As for the believer, he says: 'I bear witness that he says: 'I bear witness that he is the slave of Allah and His Messenger.' It is said to him: 'Look at your place in hell; Allah has replaced it for you with a place better than it.''' The Messenger of Allah said: "Then he sees them both." As for the disbeliever or the hypocrite, it is said to him: 'What did you say about this man?' He says: 'I do not know; I used to say what the people said.' It is said to him: 'You did not understand and you did not follow those who had understanding.' Then he is dealt a blow between his ears and the man utters a scream which everything near him hears, except for the two races.''' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2051)

ابن مبارك عن الحسن مرسلًا.

2072 - " إن العبد إذا وُضع في قبره وَتَوَلَّى عنه أصحابه حتى إنه يسمع قرع نعالهم أتاه ملكان فيقعدانه، فيقولان له: ما كنت تقول في هذا الرجل؟ لمحمد. فأما المؤمن فيقول: أشهد أنه عبد الله ورسوله فيقال: انظر إلى مقعدك من النار، قد أبدلك الله به مقعدًا من الجنة، فيراهما جميعًا ويفسح له في قبره سبعون ذراعًا، ويملأ عليه خضرًا إلى يوم يبعثون، وأما الكافر أو المنافق فيقال له: ما كنت تقول في هذا الرجل؟ فيقول: لا أدرى كنت أقول ما يقول الناس فيقال له: لا دريت ولا تليت ثم يضرب بمطراق من حديد ضربة بين أذنيه فيصيح صيحة يسمعها من يليه غير الثقلين، ويضيق عليه قبره حتى تختلف أضلاعه".
