“The believer’s soul is a bird that eats from the trees of Paradise, until it will be returned to his body on the Day when he is resurrected.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4271)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّمَا نَسَمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ طَائِرٌ يَعْلُقُ فِي شَجَرِ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يُرْجِعَهُ اللهُ إِلَى جَسَدِهِ يَوْمَ يَبْعَثُهُ»  

"We were with 'Umar between Makkah and Al-Madinah, when he strted to tell us about the people of Badr. He said: The Messenger of Allah showed us the day before where they (the disbelivers) would fall. He said: This is the place where so-and-so will fall tomorrow, if Allah wills.' 'Umar said: 'By the One Who sent him with the truth! They did not miss those places, They were placed in a well and the Prophet came to them and called out: O so-and-so, son of so-and-so! O so-and-so, son of so-andso! Have you found what your Lord promised to be true? Of I have found what allah promised me to be true. 'Umar said: 'Are you speaking to bodies in which there are no souls?' He said: 'You do not hear what I say any better than they do."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2074)   

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَيُرِينَا مَصَارِعَهُمْ بِالْأَمْسِ قَبْلَ أَيْ هَذَا مَصْرَعُ فُلَانٍ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ غَدًا قَالَ عُمَرُ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَخْطَأَوا تِيكَ فَجُعِلُوا فِي بِئْرٍ فَأَتَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَنَادَى يَا فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ يَا فُلَانَ ابْنَ فُلَانٍ «هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا فَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا» قَالَ عُمَرُ أَتُكَلِّمُ أَجْسَادًا لَا أَرْوَاحَ فِيهَا؟ قَالَ «مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ»  

"During the night, the Muslims heard the Messenger of Allah standing and calling out at the well of badr; 'O Abu Jahl bin Hisham! O Shaaibh bin Rabiah! O 'Utbah bin Rabiah! O Umayyah bin Khalaf! Have you found what your Lord promised to be true? For I have found what my Lord promised me to be true.' They said: 'O Messenger of Allah, are you calling out to people who have turned into rotten corpses?' He said: 'You do not hear what I say any better than they do, but they cannot answer.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2075)  

قال وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَائِمٌ يُنَادِي يَا أَبَا جَهْلِ بْنَ هِشَامٍ يَا شَيْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ يَا عُتْبَةَ بْنَ رَبِيعَةَ يَا أُمَيَّةَ بْنَ خَلَفٍ هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟ فَإِنِّي وَجَدْتُ مَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي حَقًّا قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُنَادِي قَوْمًا قَدْ جَيَّفُوا؟ قَالَ «مَا أَنْتُمْ بِأَسْمَعَ لِمَا أَقُولُ مِنْهُمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ أَنْ يُجِيبُوا»  

"Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" he said: "They can hear what I am saying to them now". Mention of that was made to 'Aishah and she said: "Ibn 'Umar is mistaken. Rather the Messenger of Allah said: "Ibn 'Umar is mistaken. Rather the Messenger of Allah said: 'Now they know that what I used to say to them is the truth.' Then she recited: So verily, you (O Muhammad) cannot make the dead to hear., until she recited the verse." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2076)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ وَقَفَ عَلَى قَلِيبِ بَدْرٍ فَقَالَ «هَلْ وَجَدْتُمْ مَا وَعَدَ رَبُّكُمْ حَقًّا؟» قَالَ «إِنَّهُمْ لَيَسْمَعُونَ الْآنَ مَا أَقُولُ فَذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِعَائِشَةَ» فَقَالَتْ وَهَلِ ابْنُ عُمَرَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّهُمُ الْآنَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الَّذِي كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُمْ هُوَ الْحَقُّ ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ قَوْلَهُ {إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى} [النمل 80] حَتَّى قَرَأَتِ الْآيَةَ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'The Messenger of Allah said: 'The whole of the son of Adam will be consumed by the earth, except for the tailbone, from which he was created and from which he will be created anwe."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2077)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «كُلُّ بَنِي آدَمَ» وَفِي حَدِيثِ مُغِيرَةَ «كُلُّ ابْنِ آدَمَ يَأْكُلُهُ يَعْنِي التُّرَابَ إِلَّا عَجْبَ الذَّنَبِ مِنْهُ خُلِقَ وَفِيهِ يُرَكَّبُ»  

"Allah, the Mighty and Sublinm, says: 'The son of Adam denied Me and he had no right to do so. and the son of Adam reviled Me and he had no right to do so. As for his denying Me, It is his saying that I will not resurrect him as I created him in the beginning, but resurrecting him is not more difficult for Me than creating him in the first place. And as for his reviling Me, it is his saying that Allah has taken a son, but I am Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, I beget not nor was I begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Me."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2078)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كَذَّبَنِي ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يُكَذِّبَنِي وَشَتَمَنِي ابْنُ آدَمَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَشْتُمَنِي أَمَّا تَكْذِيبُهُ إِيَّايَ فَقَوْلُهُ أَنِّي لَا أُعِيدُهُ كَمَا بَدَأْتُهُ وَلَيْسَ آخِرُ الْخَلْقِ بِأَعَزَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ وَأَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ فَقَوْلُهُ {اتَّخَذَ اللهُ وَلَدًا} [البقرة 116] وَأَنَا اللهُ الْأَحَدُ اللهُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ أَلِدْ وَلَمْ أُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'There was a man who wronged himself greatly, and when he was dying he said to his family: When I am dead, burn my body then grind my bones and scatter me in the wind and at sea, for by Allah , if Allah gets hold of me, he will punish me in a way that He will not punish anyone else. So his family did that, but Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said to everything that had taken any part of him to give up what it had taken. Then there he was, standing Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, said: What made you do what you did? He said: Fear of You. So Allah forgave him."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2079)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَسْرَفَ عَبْدٌ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَحِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ» قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اسْحَقُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الرِّيحِ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَوَاللهِ لَئِنْ قَدَرَ اللهُ عَلَيَّ لَيُعَذِّبَنِّي عَذَابًا لَا يُعَذِّبُهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ أَهْلُهُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اللهُ لِكُلِّ مَنْ أَخَذَ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا أَدِّ مَا أَخَذْتَ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟ قَالَ خَشْيَتُكَ فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ  

"There was a man among those who came before you who thought badly of his deeds, so when death was approaching he said to his family: 'When I am dead, burn my body and grind up my bones, then scatter me in the sea, for if Allah gets hold of me, He will never forgive me.' But Allah commanded the angles to seize his soul. He said to him: 'What made you do what you did?' He said:: 'O Lord, I only did it because I feared You.' So Allah forgave him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2080)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ سَيِّءُ الظَّنَّ بِعَمَلِهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ» قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَحْرِقُونِي ثُمَّ اطْحَنُونِي ثُمَّ اذْرُونِي فِي الْبَحْرِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيَّ لَمْ يَغْفِرْ لِي قَالَ فَأَمَرَ اللهُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَتَلَقَّتْ رُوحَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا فَعَلْتُ إِلَّا مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ
