" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered his Musalla and saw the people who looked as if they were smiling. So he said: 'Indeed, if you were to increase in remembrance of the severer of pleasures, then you would find yourselves too busy for what I see. So increase in remembrance of death, the severer of pleasures. For indeed there is no day that comes upon the grave except that it speaks, saying: "I am thee house of the estranged, I am the house of the solitude, I am the house of dust, and I am the house of the worm-eaten." When the believing worshipper is buried, the grave says to him: "Welcome, make yourself comfortable. Indeed, to me, you are the most beloved of those who walked upon me. Since you have been entrusted to me and delivered to me today, you shall see what I have arranged for you." It will then widen for him so that his sight extends, and the door to Paradise is opened for him. And when the wicked worshipper or the disbeliever is buried , the grave says to him: "You are not welcome, do not get comfortable. Indeed, to me, you are the most hated of those who walked upon me. Since you have been entrusted to me and delivered to me today, you shall see what I have arranged for you.'" He said: 'It will begin closing in on him(squeezing him) until his ribs are crushing each other.'" He said: " The Messenger of Allah ﷺ clasped some of his fingers between others and said: 'Seventy giant serpents will constrict him, if even one of them were to hiss on the earth, nothing upon it would grow as long as it remained. They will chew on him and bite him until he is brought to the Reckoning.'" He said: " The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'The grave is but a garden from the gardens of Paradise, or a pit from the pits of the Fire.'"  

دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُصَلاَّهُ فَرَأَى نَاسًا كَأَنَّهُمْ يَكْتَشِرُونَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ لَوْ أَكْثَرْتُمْ ذِكْرَ هَاذِمِ اللَّذَّاتِ لَشَغَلَكُمْ عَمَّا أَرَى فَأَكْثِرُوا مِنْ ذِكْرِ هَاذِمِ اللَّذَّاتِ الْمَوْتِ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْتِ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ يَوْمٌ إِلاَّ تَكَلَّمَ فِيهِ فَيَقُولُ أَنَا بَيْتُ الْغُرْبَةِ وَأَنَا بَيْتُ الْوَحْدَةِ وَأَنَا بَيْتُ التُّرَابِ وَأَنَا بَيْتُ الدُّودِ فَإِذَا دُفِنَ الْعَبْدُ الْمُؤْمِنُ قَالَ لَهُ الْقَبْرُ مَرْحَبًا وَأَهْلاً أَمَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لأَحَبَّ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَى ظَهْرِي إِلَىَّ فَإِذْ وُلِّيتُكَ الْيَوْمَ وَصِرْتَ إِلَىَّ فَسَتَرَى صَنِيعِي بِكَ قَالَ فَيَتَّسِعُ لَهُ مَدَّ بَصَرِهِ وَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَإِذَا دُفِنَ الْعَبْدُ الْفَاجِرُ أَوِ الْكَافِرُ قَالَ لَهُ الْقَبْرُ لاَ مَرْحَبًا وَلاَ أَهْلاً أَمَا إِنْ كُنْتَ لأَبْغَضَ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَى ظَهْرِي إِلَىَّ فَإِذْ وُلِّيتُكَ الْيَوْمَ وَصِرْتَ إِلَىَّ فَسَتَرَى صَنِيعِي بِكَ قَالَ فَيَلْتَئِمُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَلْتَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَتَخْتَلِفَ أَضْلاَعُهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِأَصَابِعِهِ فَأَدْخَلَ بَعْضَهَا فِي جَوْفِ بَعْضٍ قَالَ وَيُقَيِّضُ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَبْعِينَ تِنِّينًا لَوْ أَنَّ وَاحِدًا مِنْهَا نَفَخَ فِي الأَرْضِ مَا أَنْبَتَتْ شَيْئًا مَا بَقِيَتِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَنْهَشْنَهُ وَيَخْدِشْنَهُ حَتَّى يُفْضَى بِهِ إِلَى الْحِسَابِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا الْقَبْرُ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ حُفْرَةٌ مِنْ حُفَرِ النَّارِ

" أَمَا إِنكم لَو أَكثَرتُمْ ذِكْرَ هَاذِمِ اللذَّاتِ لَشَغَلكُمْ عَمَّا أَرى - الموتِ - فَأَكثروا ذِكْرَ هَاذِمِ اللذَّاتِ: الموتِ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يأْتِ عَلَى القَبْرِ يَوْمٌ إِلا تَكَلَّمَ فيه فيقول: أَنَا بيتُ الغُرْبة، وأَنا بيتُ الوَحدَةِ، وَأَنا بيتُ التُّرَابِ، وَأَنا بيتُ الدُّود، فَإِذَا دُفِنَ العَبْدُ المؤْمِنُ قَال لَهُ القَبْرُ: مرحبًا وأَهْلا، أَمَا إِن كُنْت لأَحَبَّ مَنْ يَمْشِي على ظَهْرِى إِليَّ، فَإِذ وَلِيتُكَ اليَوْمَ وَصرْتَ إلَيَّ فَسَتَرى صَنِيعى بِكَ، فَيتَّسعُ لَهُ مَدَّ بَصرِهِ، وَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ إِلى الجنَّةِ، وَإِذا دُفِنَ العَبْدُ الفاجرُ أَو الكافِرُ قال لَهُ القبرُ: لا مَرْحبًا، وَلَا أَهْلًا، أَمَا إِن كُنْتَ لأَبْغَضَ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَى ظَهْرِى إلَيَّ، فَإِذْ وليتُكَ اليَوْمَ، وَصِرْتَ إلَيَّ فَسَتَرى صَنيعي بِكَ، فَيَلْتَئِمُ عَلَيه حَتَّى يَلْتَقِي عَلَيه وَتَخْتَلفَ أَضْلاعُهُ، وَيُقَيَّضُ لَهُ سَبْعُونَ تِنِّينًا، لَوْ أَنَّ وَاحدًا مِنهَا نَفَخَ في الأرْض مَا أَنْبَتْ شَيئًا مَا بقيتْ الدنْيَا، فَيَنْهَشْنَهُ ويَخْدِشْننَهُ حتَّى يُفْضِي بِه إِلَى الحِسابِ، إِنَّمَا القَبْرُ روضةٌ من رياضِ الجَنَّةِ أَو حُفْرَةٌ مِنْ حُفَر النَّارِ".  

"عَنْ أبِى سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: خَرَجَ عَلينَا رسول الله ﷺ يَوْمًا ونَحْنُ في المسجِد وَهُوَ عَاصِبٌ رَأسَهُ بِخرقَة في المَرضِ الَّذى مَاتَ فِيه فَأهْوَى قبَلَ المنْبَرِ حَتَّى اسْتَوى عَلَيْه فَأتبعْنَاهُ وَقَالَ: والذي نَفْسِى بِيَدِه إِنِّي لَقائم عَلَى الحَوضِ السَّاعَةَ، وَقَالَ: إِنَّ عَبْدًا عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْه الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا فَاخْتَارَ الآخِرةَ فَلَمْ يَفْطِنْ لَهَا أَحدٌ إِلا أَبُو بْكرٍ فَذرفَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فبكَى، قَالَ: بِأبِي وأمِّى بَلْ نَفْدِيكَ بِآبَائِنَا وأُمَّهَاتِنَا وأنْفُسِنَا وأمْوَالِنَا ثُمَّ هَبَطَ فَقَامَ عَلَيْه حَتَّى السَّاعة، أَمَا إنكُمْ لَو أكثَرتم ذكر هاذم اللَّذات أَشَغلكُم عَمَّا أَرَى المَوتُ، فَأكثروا ذِكر هَاذِم اللَّذاتِ الموت، فإنَّهُ لَمْ يَأت عَلَى القَبر يَوم إِلَّا تَكَلَّمَ فِيه، فَيَقُولُ: أنا بَيْتُ الغُرْبةِ وَأنَا بَيْتُ الوحْدة، وأنَا بَيْتُ التُرابِ، وَأنَا بَيْتُ الدُّودِ، فَإِذَا دُفِنَ الَعْبد المؤْمِنُ قَالَ لَهُ القَبْرُ مَرحبًا وأهْلًا، أما إِنْ كنتَ لأحب من يمشي على ظَهْرى إليَّ فإذَا وليْتكَ اليومَ وصرْتَ إليَّ فَسَتَرى صنيعى بِك، وَيتَّسَعُ لَهُ مَدَّ بَصَرهِ، ويُفْتَح لهُ بَابٌ إِلى الجنةِ، وَإذَا دفُن العبد الفاجر أو الكافرُ قَالَ لَهُ القبرُ: لَا مَرْحَبا ولا أهْلًا، أما إن كنتَ أبغضَ مَنْ يمْشِى عَلَى ظَهرىِ إِلىَّ فإذَا

وَلَّيْتكَ اليومَ وصِرْتَ إليَّ فَسَتَرى صنيعِى بِكَ، فيلتَئِم عَلَيْه حَتَّى يَلتَقِى عَلَيْه، وتَخْتَلِف أضَلَاعُه، وَيُقْيَض لهُ سبعُون تنِّينًا لَوْ أن واحدًا مِنها نَفخ في الأرْضِ ما أنبتت شَيئًا ما بقيتِ الدُّنْيا فينهشه حَتَّى يُفضى بِهِ إِلى الحِسَابِ، إِنما القَبْرُ رَوْضَة مِن رِياضِ الجنَّةِ، أَوْ حُفْرَة مِن حُفر النَّارِ".
