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.  

إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ نَخْلاً لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا فَفَزِعَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُ هَذِهِ الْقُبُورِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَاسٌ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ قَالُوا وَمِمَّ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُ فَإِنِ اللَّهُ هَدَاهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ هُوَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَمَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْ شَىْءٍ غَيْرَهَا فَيُنْطَلَقُ بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتٍ كَانَ لَهُ فِي النَّارِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ هَذَا بَيْتُكَ كَانَ لَكَ فِي النَّارِ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَصَمَكَ وَرَحِمَكَ فَأَبْدَلَكَ بِهِ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ دَعُونِي حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ فَأُبَشِّرَ أَهْلِي فَيُقَالُ لَهُ اسْكُنْ وَإِنَّ الْكَافِرَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَيَنْتَهِرُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لاَ دَرَيْتَ وَلاَ تَلَيْتَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ فَمَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فَيَضْرِبُهُ بِمِطْرَاقٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً يَسْمَعُهَا الْخَلْقُ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, "Verily, this Ummah (nation) is tested in their graves. So when a believer is buried and his companions turn away from him, a severe angel of reproof comes to him and asks him, 'What used you to say about this man?' The believer replies, 'I say that he is the Messenger of Allah and His servant.' Then the angel says to him, 'Look at your seat that you used to have in the Hellfire, but Allah has saved you from it and replaced it with the seat that you see from paradise.' So he sees both of them. Then the believer says, 'Leave me, let me give glad tidings to my family.' Then it will be said to him, 'Be silent.' As for the hypocrite, when his family turns away from him, it will be said to him, 'What used you to say about this man?' He will say, 'I do not know, I used to say what the people used to say.' Then it will be said to him, 'You do not know.' This is your seat that you used to have from paradise, and it has been changed with your seat from the Hellfire." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then I heard the Prophet ﷺ say, 'Every servant will be resurrected in the grave according to the way he died, either as a believer on his faith, or as a hypocrite on his hypocrisy.'"  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ تُبْتَلَى فِي قُبُورِهَا فَإِذَا أُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنُ قَبْرَهُ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ جَاءَ مَلَكٌ شَدِيدُ الِانْتِهَارِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَعَبْدُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ الَّذِي كَانَ لَكَ فِي النَّارِ قَدْ أَنْجَاكَ اللهُ مِنْهُ وَأَبْدَلَكَ بِمَقْعَدِكَ الَّذِي تَرَى مِنَ النَّارِ مَقْعَدَكَ الَّذِي تَرَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَرَاهُمَا كِلَاهُمَا فَيَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ دَعُونِي أُبَشِّرْ أَهْلِي فَيُقَالَ لَهُ اسْكُنْ وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ فَيُقْعَدُ إِذَا تَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَهْلُهُ فَيُقَالَ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدْرِي أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فَيُقَالَ لَهُ لَا دَرَيْتَ هَذَا مَقْعَدُكَ الَّذِي كَانَ لَكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَدْ أُبْدِلْتَ مَكَانَهُ مَقْعَدَكَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يُبْعَثُ كُلُّ عَبْدٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ عَلَى مَا مَاتَ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى إِيمَانِهِ وَالْمُنَافِقُ عَلَى نِفَاقِهِ  

"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)   

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيُقَالُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَقَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللهُ بِهِ مَقْعَدًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا قَالَ رَوْحٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ فَذَكَرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يُفْسَحُ لَهُ فِيقَبْرِهِ سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَيُمْلَأُ عَلَيْهِ خُضْرًا إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ وَالْمُنَافِقُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدْرِي كُنْتُ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَا دَرَيْتَ وَلَا تَلَيْتَ ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ بِمِطْرَاقٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ضَرْبَةً بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً فَيَسْمَعُهَا مَنْ يَلِيهِ غَيْرُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَضِيقُ عَلَيْهِ قَبْرُهُ حَتَّى تَخْتَلِفَ أَضْلَاعُهُ  

"إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيُذْنبُ الذَّنْبَ فَيَدْخُلُ به الْجَنَّةَ، قيلَ: كَيفَ؟ قال: يَكُونُ نُصْبَ عَينَيه تَائِبًا قَارًا، حتَّى يَدْخُلَ بهِ الْجَنَّةَ .

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".

"إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِى قَبْرِه أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ: مَا كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُ؟ فَإِن اللهُ هَدَاهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَعْبُدُ اللهَ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ في هَذا الرَّجُل؟ فَيَقُولُ: هُو عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولهُ، فَما يُسْأَلُ عَنْ شَئٍ غَيْرَها فَيُنْطَلَقُ به إِلى بَيْت كَانَ لَهُ في النَّار، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: هَذا بَيْتُكَ كَانَ فِى النَّارِ، وَلكِنَّ الله عَصَمكَ وَرَحمَكَ، فَأَبْدَلَكَ بِه بيْتًا فِى الْجَنَّةِ، فَيَقُولُ: دَعُونى حتَّى أَذْهَبَ فَأُبَشِّرَ أَهْلِى - فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: اسْكُنْ وَإنَّ الْكافِرَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِى قَبْرِه أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ فَيَنْتَهِرُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لا أَدْرى. فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: لا دَرَيْتَ، وَلا تَلَيْتَ، فَيُقَالُ: ما كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِى هَذا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: كُنْتُ أَقُولُ ما يَقُولُ النَّاسُ، فَيَضْرِبُهُ بِمِطْرَاقٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ بَيْنَ أُذُنَيه فيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً يَسْمَعُها الْخَلْقُ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَين ".
