Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself said: "A group from the Children of Israel set out and passed by their graveyard. They said: If we pray two rak‘ahs and supplicate to Allah that He brings forth for us a dead person (alive from his grave), so that we may ask him about death. So they did so. While they were doing this, a wheat-colored man raised his head from the grave, and there was a mark of prostration on his forehead. He said: O you! What do you want from me? I died a hundred years ago today, but the heat of death has not yet subsided. Now pray to Allah that He returns me to the state in which I was."

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“When the People of the Book relate something to you, neither confirm nor deny them, but rather say: We believe in Allah, His Books, and His Messengers. If what they say is true, you have not denied it, and if it is false, you have not confirmed it.”

While they were doing this, a wheat-colored man raised his head from the grave, and there was a mark of prostration on his forehead. He said: O! What do you want from me?
