Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When (Allah's) slave is put in his grave and his companions return and he even hears their footsteps, two angels come to him and make him sit and ask, 'What did you use to say about this man (i.e. Muhammad)?' The faithful Believer will say, 'I testify that he is Allah's slave and His Apostle.' Then they will say to him, 'Look at your place in the Hell Fire; Allah has given you a place in Paradise instead of it.' So he will see both his places." (Qatada said, "We were informed that his grave would be made spacious." Then Qatada went back to the narration of Anas who said;) Whereas a hypocrite or a non-believer will be asked, "What did you use to say about this man." He will reply, "I do not know; but I used to say what the people used to say." So they will say to him, "Neither did you know nor did you take the guidance (by reciting the Qur'an)." Then he will be hit with iron hammers once, that he will send such a cry as everything near to him will hear, except Jinns and human beings. (See Hadith No. 422).

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَإِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ فَيَقُولاَنِ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي الرَّجُلِ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَقْعَدًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يُفْسَحُ فِي قَبْرِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ قَالَ وَأَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُ وَالْكَافِرُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي كُنْتُ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فَيُقَالُ لاَ دَرَيْتَ وَلاَ تَلَيْتَ وَيُضْرَبُ بِمَطَارِقَ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ضَرْبَةً فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً يَسْمَعُهَا مَنْ يَلِيهِ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "When a human being is laid in his grave and his companions return and he even hears their foot steps, two angels come to him and make him sit and ask him: What did you use to say about this man, Muhammad ? He will say: I testify that he is Allah's slave and His Apostle. Then it will be said to him, 'Look at your place in the Hell-Fire. Allah has given you a place in Paradise instead of it.' " The Prophet ﷺ added, "The dead person will see both his places. But a non-believer or a hypocrite will say to the angels, 'I do not know, but I used to say what the people used to say! It will be said to him, 'Neither did you know nor did you take the guidance (by reciting the Qur'an).' Then he will be hit with an iron hammer between his two ears, and he will cry and that cry will be heard by whatever approaches him except human beings and jinns."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ الْعَبْدُ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتُوُلِّيَ وَذَهَبَ أَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ فَأَقْعَدَاهُ فَيَقُولاَنِ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيُقَالُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ أَبْدَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَقْعَدًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ أَوِ الْمُنَافِقُ فَيَقُولُ لاَ أَدْرِي كُنْتُ أَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فَيُقَالُ لاَ دَرَيْتَ وَلاَ تَلَيْتَ ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ بِمِطْرَقَةٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ضَرْبَةً بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً يَسْمَعُهَا مَنْ يَلِيهِ إِلاَّ الثَّقَلَيْنِ

When the servant is placed in his grave, his companions retrace their steps, and he hears the noise of their footsteps, two angels come to him and make him sit and say to him: What you have to say about this person (the Prophet)? If he is a believer, he would say: I bear testimony to the fact that he is a servant of Allah and His Messenger. Then it would be said to him: Look to your seat in the Hellfire, for Allah has substituted (the seat of yours) with a seat in Paradise. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: He would be shown both the seats. Qatada said: It was mentioned to us that his grave (the grave of a believer) expands to seventy cubits and is full with verdure until the Day when they would be resurrected.

نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ قَالَ يَأْتِيهِ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ فَيَقُولاَنِ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قَالَ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مَقْعَدًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يُفْسَحُ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَيُمْلأُ عَلَيْهِ خَضِرًا إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

"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.'''

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.

[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.'"

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ فَيَقُولَانِ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللَّهُ مَقْعَدًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ وَذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يَفْسَخُ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا وَيُمْلَأُ عَلَيْهِ خَضِرًا إِلَى يَوْمِ يَبْعَثُونَ 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 لَا دَرَيْتَ وَلَا تَلَيْتَ ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ بِمِطْرَاقٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ ضَرْبَةً بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً يَسْمَعُهَا مَنْ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ»

"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 النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ أَتَاهُ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ» فَيَقُولَانِ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ مُحَمَّدٍ؟ ﷺ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَرَاهُمَا وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ أَوِ الْمُنَافِقُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدْرِي كُنْتُ أَقُولُ كَمَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لَا دَرَيْتَ وَلَا تَلَيْتَ ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ ضَرْبَةً بَيْنَ أُذُنَيْهِ فَيَصِيحُ صَيْحَةً فَيَسْمَعُهُ مَنْ يلِيهِ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ

[Machine] Narrated by Muhammad ibn Abdullah al-Hafiz, Abu al-Fadl al-Hasan ibn Ya'qub al-Adl, Yahya ibn Abi Talib, Abd al-Wahhab ibn Ata, Sa'eed ibn Qatadah, and Anas ibn Malik that the Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, "When the servant is placed in his grave and his companions turn away from him, he hears the noise of their sandals. Then two angels come to him and ask, 'What did you say about this man, Muhammad ﷺ?' The believer says, 'I bear witness that he is the servant of Allah and His Messenger.' They say to him, 'Look at your place in the Fire, for Allah has replaced it with a place in Paradise.' He then sees both places."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو الْفَضْلِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ثنا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ يَأْتِيهِ مَلَكَانِ فَيَقُولَانِ مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ يَعْنِي مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ قَالَ فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ فَيَقُولُ آمَنْتُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ فِي النَّارِ قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللهُ مَقْعَدًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا

"إِنَّ هذه الأُمةَ تُبْتَلى في قبورِها فَإِذا أُدخِلَ المؤْمنُ قَبْرَهُ، وتولَّى عنه أَصحابُهُ جاءَهُ مَلَكٌ شديدُ الانتهارِ، فيقولُ لَهُ: ما كنت تقول في هذا الرَّجُلِ ؟ فيقولُ المؤْمن: أَقولَ: إِنَّهُ رسولُ اللَّه وعبدُهُ، فيقوُلُ له الْمَلَكُ: انْظُرْ إِلى مَقْعَدِكَ الذى كانَ لَكَ في النَّارِ، قد أَنْجَاكَ اللَّه منه وَأَبْدَلَكَ بمقعدكَ الذى ترى من النار (هذا) الذى ترى من الجنةِ فَيَقُولُ المؤْمنُ: دعونى أُبَشِّرُ أَهْلِى؛ فَيُقَالُ له: اسْكُنْ، وأمَّا المنَافِقُ فَيُقْعَدُ إِذا تَوَلَّى عنه أَهْلُهُ. فيقالُ له: ما كنتَ تقولُ في هذا الرَّجُلِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: لا أَدرى، أَقولُ ما يَقُولُ النَّاسُ، فَيُقَالُ له؛ لا دريتَ، هذا مَقْعَدُكَ الذى كانَ لَكَ في الجنَّةِ، قد أُبدِلتَ منهُ مَقْعَدَكَ من النَّارِ، يُبْعَثُ كُلُّ عَبْدٍ في الْقَبْرِ على مَا مَات؛ المؤْمِنُ على إِيمانه، والمنافِقُ عَلى نِفاقِهِ" .

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 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 ".
