288 <strong>Guide</strong> <strong>to</strong> SOWld <strong>Creed</strong> In these verses, Allah, Exalted be He, mentions three cases under which peoples' souls fall at the time ofdeath. In the beginning ofthis Sura, Allah mentions the cases of souls on the Day of Resurrection. Allah mentions the kinds of people on the Day ofResurrection fIrst as the situation there is more important than that at the time ofdeath. Moreover, as Allah, Exalted be He, divides people in<strong>to</strong> three kinds at the time ofdeath, He also divides them in<strong>to</strong> three kinds on the Day ofResurrection. Proofs ofTorment and Pleasure in the Grave from Sunnah When one contemplates the Prophetic b.adfths which mainly tackle the punishment and pleasure in the grave, one will fInd that they paraphrase and explain in detail what is mentioned generally in the Quean in this regard. The b.adiths narrated about the Prophet (PBUH) talking about the punishment in the grave are considerable and recurrent. Among these b.adtths are the following: 1- It is related in the Two s.ab.ib.s on the authority of Ibn 'Abbc1s that the Prophet (PBUH) passed by two graves and said: "These two persons are being <strong>to</strong>rtured not for a major sin (<strong>to</strong> avoid). One ofthem never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other used <strong>to</strong> go about with malicious gossip (<strong>to</strong> make enmity between people)." The Prophet (PBUH) then <strong>to</strong>ok a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it in<strong>to</strong> two pieces and fixed one on each grave and said, "I hope that their <strong>to</strong>rment might be lessened until these (the pieces of the leaf) become dry." 2- It is related in S.ab.ib. Muslim (Muslim's Authentic <strong>Book</strong> ofHadith) on the authority ofZayd Ibn Thc1bit who narrated: 11.s Allah's Messenger (PBUH) was going along with us in a garden belonging <strong>to</strong> Banun-Najjar, riding upon his mule, it shied and he was about <strong>to</strong> fall. He found four, five or six graves there. He said, 'Who amongst you knows about those lying in these graves?' A man said, 'I do: Thereupon, he (PBUH) said, 'When did these people die?' The man said, 'They died in the pre-Islamic period: He said, 'This nation is passing through the ordeal in the graves. Were it not for the reason that you would s<strong>to</strong>p burying (your dead), I would invoke Allah <strong>to</strong> make you hear the <strong>to</strong>rment in the grave, which I am hearing.' "
Principle 5: Belief in Last Day 289 N.B. 3- Itis also related in Sal:!il:!Muslim and the <strong>Book</strong>s ofSunan (books recording the Prophetic Tradition) that Abu Hurayrah narrated, "The Prophet (PBUH) said: "When anyone ofyou completes the Final Tashahhud 18, he should seek refuge with Allah from four (things): from the <strong>to</strong>rment of the Hell, from the <strong>to</strong>rment ofgrave, from the trial oflife and death, and from the trial of AI-Masil:!ud-DajjiU (the Antichrist)." 4- Moreover, it is related in the 1Wo Sal:!il:!s (two authentic books of AI Bukhari and Muslim) that Abu Ayyftb (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "Once, the Prophet (PBUH) went out after sunset and heard a (dreadful) voice, so he said, 'The Jews are being punished in their graves: " 5- In addition, it is related in the Two Sal:!il:!s that 'Rishah (may Allah be . pleased with her) narrated: 'J1n old woman from among the Jews entered upon me and said, 'The dead suffer <strong>to</strong>rment in theirgraves: butI belied her and did not believe her at the beginning. When she went away and Allah's Messenger (PBUH) entered upon me, I said, '0 Messenger ofAllah! An old woman from among the Jews ofMedina came <strong>to</strong> me and <strong>to</strong>ld me that the dead suffer <strong>to</strong>rment in theirgraves: He said, 'She has <strong>to</strong>ld the truth; the dead are really punished, <strong>to</strong> the extent that all the animals hear (the sound resulting from) their <strong>to</strong>rment: Since then I always saw him seeking refuge with Allah from the <strong>to</strong>rment ofthe grave in his prayers." The punishment and the pleasure in the grave and the questioning by the two angels are <strong>to</strong> happen <strong>to</strong> every deceased person even ifhe is not buried. The punishment in the grave entails the interval called 'Barzakh between this world and the Hereafter and what happens in it either of <strong>to</strong>rment or pleasure. Allah, Exalted be He, says: '~••And behind them is a Barzakh [a barrier] until the Day they are resurrected" (Qur'an: AI-Mu'minftn: 100) Thus, ifanyone dies by crucifying, burning, sinking, or being devoured by wild animals or birds ofprey, he is <strong>to</strong> receive the punishment or the pleasure he deserves, according <strong>to</strong> his deeds and in the way that may differ from one case <strong>to</strong> another.
