[Machine] We went to a funeral in the Bab Dimashq area, and with us was Abu Umamah al-Bahili. When he prayed upon the deceased and they began burying him, Abu Umamah said, "O people, you have entered a house in which you share in good deeds and bad deeds, and soon you will leave it for another abode. This indicates the grave, the house of solitude, darkness, worms, and narrowness, except for what Allah expands. Then you will move from it to the stations of the Day of Resurrection. You will be in some of these stations until a matter from the matters of Allah covers the people. Faces will turn bright and faces will turn dark, and then you will move to another house where intense darkness covers the people. Then the light will be divided, and the believer will receive light while the disbeliever and the hypocrite will not receive anything. This is a similitude that Allah, the Most High, has given in His Book, "Or like darknesses within an unfathomable sea which is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds - darknesses, some of them upon others. When one puts out his hand, he can hardly see it. And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light." [Quran 24:40] And the disbeliever and the hypocrite will not be illuminated by the light of the believer, just as the blind person is not illuminated by the sight of the one who can see. The hypocrite says to those who believe, "Look at us and provide for us some of your light." But it is said to them, "Go back and seek light." And a wall is put up between them, with a door within it. Inside it is mercy, and outside of it is torment. They call to them, "Were we not with you?" They reply, "Yes, but you deceived yourselves and delayed, and you were deceived by false hopes until the decree of Allah came. And the Deceiver deceived you concerning Allah." [Quran 4:142] So they return to the place where the light was divided and they find nothing. They turn back to them, and there is a barrier between them. It has a door, inside of which is mercy, and from its front is punishment. They call out to them, "Weren't we with you? We used to pray with you and fight in battles alongside you." They reply, "Yes, but you caused confusion, you waited and hesitated, and false hopes deceived you, until the command of Allah came and you were deceived by Allah." [Quran 57:14] Then it recites, "And how terrible that result is!" [Quran 57:15]
