24. Chapter of Lām (Male)
٢٤۔ بَابُ اللَّامِ
[Machine] To my son, when I die, shroud me and when you place me in my grave, say Bismillah and follow the way of the Messenger of Allah. Then, cover me with earth and recite Surah Al-Baqarah from the beginning to the end by my head, as I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying so.
لِي أَبِي يَا بُنَيَّ إِذَا أَنَا مُتُّ فَأَلْحِدْنِي فَإِذَا وَضَعْتَنِي فِي لَحْدِي فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللهِ وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ثُمَّ سِنَّ عَلَيَّ الثَّرَى سِنًّا ثُمَّ اقْرَأْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي بِفَاتِحَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ وَخَاتِمَتِهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ
[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to weep when reciting this verse: 'So how [will it be] when We bring from every nation a witness and we bring you, [O Muhammad], against these [people] as a witness?' And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Lord, I have testified against those who are present, so how about those whom I have not seen?'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَكَيْفَ إِذَا جِئْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بِشَهِيدٍ وَجِئْنَا بِكَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ شَهِيدًا} بَكَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ «يَا رَبُّ هَذَا شَهِدْتُ عَلَى مَنْ أَنَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيْهِ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ لَمْ أَرَ؟»
