What the Messenger of Allah has made unlawful is the same as what Allah has made unlawful The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) passed by two graves and said: "They are being tormented, but they are not tormented for a major sin. One of them would not avoid urine, and the other used to walk about spreading malicious gossip." When a Muslim is questioned in the grave, he testifies that There is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. This is the explanation of the words of Allah, the Exalted: {Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the firm statement in this world and the Hereafter} [Sūrat Ibrahīm: 27] They spoke the truth. They are tormented, and their torment can be heard by all animals This Ummah will be tested in their graves. Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would supplicate Allah to make you hear what I hear of the torment of the grave When one of you dies, his seat (in the Hereafter) is shown to him in the morning and evening. If he is one of the people of Paradise, (he is shown his seat) in Paradise, and if he is one of the people of Hellfire, (he is shown his seat) in Hellfire Among the portents of the Hour is that knowledge will be taken away The Hour will not come until a man would pass by the grave of another man and say: I wish I were in his place The Hour will not come until you fight the Jews The son of Mariyam will soon descend among you The Hour will not come until the sun rises from the west The Hour will not come until you fight the Jews That will be at the time when knowledge disappears There will be in the latter time of my Ummah people who will narrate to you what neither you nor your fathers have heard if the deceased was righteous, it (the corpse) would say: Send me forward, send me forward. But if he was not righteous, it would say: Woe to it! Where are you taking it? Between the two blows (of the Trumpet), there will be (an interval of) forty. The people said: O Abu Hurayrah, do you mean forty days? He said: I cannot say anything It has been revealed to me that you will be tested in your graves with a trial close to that of the Anti-Christ The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) went out after the sun had set. He heard a sound and then said: The Jews are being tormented in their graves Describing part of the bliss of the grave and its torment
