12. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamzah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said that when a believing person is taken out of his home, the angels escort him to his grave in a crowded manner until they arrive on his grave. The earth then says to him, ‘You are most welcome. By Allah, I loved that people like you walk on me. You will see what I will do for you.’ His grave will be opened up for him as far as his eyes can see, and then the two angels of grave, the dweller therein, Munkar and Nakir, enter into his grave, send his soul in him up to his loin, make him rise to sit upright and ask him, ‘Who is your Lord?’ He then replies, ‘Allah is my Lord.’ They then ask, ‘What is your religion?’ He replies, ‘Islam is my religion.’ They then ask, ‘Who is your prophet?’ He then replies, ‘Muhammad is my prophet.’ They then ask, ‘Who is your Imam?’ He then replies, ‘So and so is my Imam.’ Then someone calls from the heaven, ‘My servant has told the truth. Furnish his grave from the furnishing of paradise and open for his grave a door to paradise, dress him from the dresses of paradise until he will come to Us; what is with Us for him is better.’ Then it is said to him, ‘Rest to sleep like a newly wedded person, rest sleeping without dreams.’ The Imam then said, ‘If he is an unbeliever, the angels escort him to his grave while they all condemn him until they arrive on his grave; and the earth says, “You are not welcome at all. By Allah, I hated that people like you walk on me. However, you will see what I will do to you today.” The grave then presses him with a huge force until his sides join each other. The Imam then said, ‘Then the angels of the grave, the dwellers of the grave, Munkar and Nakir, enter his grave.’ Abu Basir then asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in your service, do they (the angels) come to the believer and the unbeliever with the same shape and form?’ The Imam replied, ‘No, they do not do so.’ The Imam then said, ‘They then make him sit upright and send his soul in him up to his loin and ask him, “Who is your Lord?” He will hesitate and say, “I heard people say (so and so).” They will say, “May you never know.” They then will ask, “What is your religion?” He will hesitate. They will say, “May you never know.” They will ask, “Who is your prophet?” He will say, “I heard people say (so and so).” They will say, “May you never know.” They then will ask him about the Imam of his time? The Imam then said, ‘Someone from the heaven then calls saying, “My servant has lied. Furnish his grave with the furnishing of fire, dress him with the dress of fire, open for him a door to fire until he comes before Us and what is with Us for him is much worse.” They then strike him with a war-club three times and each strike sets his grave on fire. The force of each strike can turn the mountains of Makkah into ashes? The Imam then said, ‘Allah then allows serpents to bite him repeatedly and Satan to make him suffer sadness? The Imam also said, ‘All creatures of Allah except man and Jinn hear his punishment. He can hear the sound of their shoes walking and the sound of their fingers being cracked and this is what Allah has mentioned in His book, “Allah keeps the believers steadfast upon the firmly established word in this world and in the next life and Allah causes to mislead the unjust and He does as He wills?”” (14:26)
IsnādMuhammad ibn Yahya, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, d'Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, d'Al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, d'Ali ibn Abi Hamza, d'Abi Basir, d'Abi Abdullah (sur lui la paix)
Certes, lorsque le croyant sort de sa maison, les anges le suivent jusqu'à sa tombe, l'entourant. Lorsqu'il y arrive, la terre lui dit : "Bienvenue et salutations à toi. Par Allah, j'aurais aimé que quelqu'un comme toi marche sur moi, pour voir ce que je fais de toi." Son regard s'étend, deux anges, Munkar et Nakir, viennent à lui dans sa tombe, l'interrogent sur sa foi, son prophète et son imam. Puis une voix céleste proclame : "Mon serviteur a dit la vérité, préparez-lui dans sa tombe un lit du Paradis, ouvrez-lui une porte vers le Paradis, et habillez-le des vêtements du Paradis. Puis il lui est dit : "Dors comme un époux, un sommeil sans rêves." Même s'il était mécréant, les anges le conduisent à sa tombe en le maudissant. La terre lui dit alors : "Pas de bienvenue ni de salutations pour toi. Par Allah, je déteste que quelqu'un comme toi marche sur moi, car aujourd'hui tu verras ce que je te réserve." Son tombeau se resserre sur lui, les anges Munkar et Nakir viennent à lui, et il est questionné de la même manière que le croyant. Puis une voix céleste proclame : "Mon serviteur a menti, préparez-lui dans sa tombe un lit de l'Enfer, ouvrez-lui une porte vers l'Enfer, et habillez-le des vêtements de l'Enfer. Puis deux anges le frappent avec une masse, chaque coup faisant voler sa tombe en feu. Dieu lui inflige dans sa tombe des tourments, les vivants et les djinns entendent ses souffrances. Dieu soutient les croyants avec une parole ferme dans cette vie et dans l'au-delà, et égare les injustes. Dieu fait ce qu'Il veut.
