ذِكْرُ قِرَاءَةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ {يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ}

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When a believer testifies that there is no god but Allah and recognizes Muhammad ﷺ in his grave, then that is Allah's statement: 'Allah will establish those who believe with the firm statement in the worldly life and in the Hereafter.'"  

ابن حبّان:٦٣٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَوْضِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ مَرْثَدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمُؤْمِنُ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَعَرَفَ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ} »

When a Muslim is questioned in the grave he testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle. That is verified by Allah’s words: “Allah establishes those who believe with the word that stands firm.”

that regarding Allah's saying: Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world and in the Hereafter (14:27). The Prophet ﷺ said: "In the grave, when it is said to him: 'Who is your Lord? What is your religion? And who is your Prophet?'"  

Abū ʿĪsá said that this Ḥadīth is Ḥasan-Ṣaḥīḥ.

“Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm.” [14:27] This has been revealed concerning the torment of the grave. It will be said to him: ‘Who is your Lord?’ He will say: ‘My Lord is Allah, and my Prophet is Muhammad.’ This is what Allah says: Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this world (i.e. they will keep on worshipping Allah Alone and none else), and in the Hereafter (i.e., at the time of questioning in the grave).’” [14:27]

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said about the grave: When he is asked, he will recognize his Lord, and he will say something that I do not remember. That is what Allah says: "Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the word that stands firm in this worldly life and in the Hereafter." [Ibrahim 27]  

أحمد:١٨٤٨٢حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ مَرْثَدٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ , he said: "The punishment of the grave is mentioned, and it is said to him, 'Who is your Lord?' He replies, 'Allah is my Lord, and Muhammad is my Prophet.' This is in accordance with Allah's saying, 'Allah will establish in steadfastness those who have believed with the firm word in worldly life.' (Surah Ibrahim, 27). This means the Muslim."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ذَكَرَ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ قَالَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْ رَبُّكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ اللهُ رَبِّي وَنَبِيِّي مُحَمَّدٌ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ {يُثَبِّتُ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا} [إبراهيم 27] يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمَ
