Hadith Number: 3302
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت: جاءت يهودية فاستطعمت على بابي، فقالت: اطعموني اعاذكم الله من فتنة الدجال ومن فتنة عذاب القبر، قالت: فلم ازل احبسها حتى جاء رسول الله، فقلت: يا رسول الله! ما تقول هذه اليهودية؟ قال: ((وما تقول؟))، قلت: تقول: اعاذكم الله من فتنة الدجال ومن فتنة عذاب القبر، قالت عائشة رضي الله عنها: فقام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فرفع يديه مدا يستعيذ بالله من فتنة عذاب النار، ثم قال: ((اما فتنة الدجال فإنه لم يكن نبي إلا قد حذر امته وساحذركموه تحذيرا لم يحذره نبي امته إنه اعور والله عز وجل ليس باعور، مكتوب بين عينيه كافر يقرؤه كل مؤمن، فاما فتنة القبر فبي تفتنون وعني تسالون، فإذا كان الرجل الصالح اجلس في قبره غير فزع ولا مشعوف، ثم يقال له: فيم كنت؟ فيقول: في الإسلام، فيقال: ما هذا الرجل الذي كان فيكم؟ فيقول: محمد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم جاءنا بالبينات من عند الله عز وجل فصدقناه، فيفرج له فرجة قبل النار فينظر إليها يحطم بعضها بعضا، فيقال له: انظر إلى ما وقاك الله عز وجل، ثم يفرج له فرجة إلى الجنة، فينظر إلى زهرتها وما فيها فيقال له: هذا مقعدك منها، ويقال: على اليقين كنت وعليه مت وعليه تبعث إن شاء الله، وإن كان الرجل سوءا اجلس في قبره فزعا مشعوفا، فيقال له: فيم كنت؟ فيقول: لا ادري، فيقال: ما هذا الرجل الذي كان فيكم؟ فيقول: سمعت الناس يقولون قولا فقلت كما قالوا، فيفرج له فرجة قبل الجنة فينظر إلى زهرتها وما فيها، فيقال له: انظر إلى ما صرف الله عز وجل عنك، ثم يفرج له فرجة قبل النار فينظر إليها يحطم بعضها بعضا ويقال: هذا مقعدك منها، كنت على الشك وعليه مت، وعليه تبعث إن شاء الله، ثم يعذب))
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: A Jewish woman came to my door asking for food and said: May Allah protect you from the trial of Dajjal and the torment of the grave, give me food. I kept her waiting for quite a while until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived. I said: O Messenger of Allah! What is this Jewish woman saying? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: What is she saying? I said: She says, may Allah protect you from the trial of Dajjal and the torment of the grave. Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, spread his hands, and began seeking refuge with Allah from the trial of Dajjal and the torment of the grave. Then he said: The trial of Dajjal is such a trial that every prophet has warned his nation about it. I also warn you about it in such a way that no prophet has warned his nation as I have. (Listen!) He will be one-eyed, whereas Allah Almighty is not one-eyed, and between his eyes the word "disbeliever" will be written; every believer will read it. As for the trial of the grave, you will also be tested regarding me and you will be questioned about me. When a deceased person is righteous, he is made to sit in the grave in such a state that there are no signs of panic or distress upon him. He is asked: What religion were you upon? He says: I was upon Islam. Then he is asked: The person who was sent among you, who is he? He replies: He is the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he came to us with clear proofs from Allah and we affirmed him. After that, a window towards Hell is opened for him and he sees that parts of Hell are consuming each other. He is told: Look at what Allah has saved you from, look there. Then a window towards Paradise is opened for him, he sees the beauty and delights of Paradise and its other blessings, and he is told: This is your place in Paradise. The reality is that you lived in the world with certainty, died upon it, and, if Allah wills, you will be raised upon it. And if the deceased is evil, when he is made to sit in the grave, he is anxious and extremely frightened. He is asked: What religion were you upon in the world? He replies: I do not know anything. He is asked: The person who was sent among you, who is he? He says: I said what I heard people saying, (now I do not know anything). After that, a window towards Paradise is opened for him, he sees its beauty and its blessings, and he is told: Look at what Allah has turned away from you. Then a window towards Hell is opened for him, he sees that parts of it are consuming each other, and he is told: This is your place in Hell. The reality is that you were upon doubt, died upon it, and, if Allah wills, you will be raised upon it, then he is punished.
