Chapter on Affirmation of the Punishment of the Grave

Zujajat al-Masabih 118Volume 1

English

Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "When a Muslim is questioned in the grave, he will testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. That is the meaning of Allah's statement: {Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter} (Surah Ibrahim: 27)." In another narration, the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "{Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word...} (Surah Ibrahim: 27): This verse was revealed regarding the punishment of the grave. It will be said to him: 'Who is your Lord?' He will reply: 'My Lord is Allah, and my Prophet is Muhammad.'
