Re: Torment in Graves

Peace All,

@EyEsOnSkY

^this making me more confused now. But one thing is clear that bodies dosent get that azab and ofcourse if somehow there is azab in graves for those who did bad deeds right? So the peoples with good deeds get opposite in graves? Or there souls go straight to
Heaven?

What is confusing here?

A window or door of heaven will be opened for good souls (good deeds holders) and their graves will be wider till the reach of his or her sight. This will remain like this till the day of Judgement arrives.

Peace LKK,

I have no doubts regarding the powers of Allah. but when we insist on taking everything too literally and try to fathom the afterlife based on our understanding of this world then we get what sweetequation wrote in her first post # 29. She wanted to have some physical evidence of the torment in grave or perhaps why some good ones suffered horrid treatment by their fellow beings after death.

There are many many hadiths wherein narrated that the Prophet re-digged and taken out again the body of a companion and no hadith mentioned that the body was in good or bad shape (due to reward or torment). Hadith Book ‘Funerals (Al-Janaaiz)’ is all about it and you can read many many hadith where Prophet Muhammad said so and so being punished in grave. Below are the few hadiths:

**Book "Funerals (Al-Janaaiz) of Sahih Bukhair - Hadith No(s) 422, 450, 451 and 455. **

Narrated Anas: The Prophet 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 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 Quran).’ 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.”

Narrated Al-Bara’ bin 'Azib : **The Prophet :saw2 said, "When a faithful believer is made to sit in his grave, then (the angels) come to him and he testifies that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle. And that corresponds to Allah’s statement: Allah will keep firm those who believe with the word that stands firm . . . (14.27). **

Narrated Shu’ba: Same as above and added, “**Allah will keep firm those who believe . . . (14.27) was revealed concerning the punishment of the grave.” **

Narrated Asma’ bint Abi Bakr : Allah’s Apostle once stood up delivering a sermon and mentioned the trial which people will face in the grave. When He mentioned that, the Muslims started shouting loudly.
