`Ali b. Hatim al-Qazwini رضي الله عنه narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. al-Husayn al-Nahwi narrated to me. He said: Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah al-Barqi narrated to us from his father Muhammad b. Khalid from Abi Ayyub Sulayman b. Muqabbal al-Medini from Musa b. Ja`far from his father al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad عليه السلام. He said: When a believer dies, seventy thousand angels attend his funeral until he reaches his grave. When he enters his grave, Munkar and Nakir come to him, sit him down, and say to him: “Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who was your prophet?” So, he says: “My Lord is Allah, my prophet is Muhammad, and my religion is Islam.” So, his grave would be expanded as far as his eye could see, food will be brought to him from Paradise, and comfort and relief will come to him – that is the saying of Allah, “And if he was of those brought near, then for him is comfort and relief” in his grave “and a Paradise of Bliss”
(56:88-89) in the Hereafter. Then, he
عليه السلام said: When a disbeliever dies, seventy thousand angels of punishment attend his funeral until he reaches his grave. As they carry him, he will be saying in a voice that all will hear except the humans and the Jinn: “If I had another chance, I would have been of the believers. Return me, so that I could do right in what I have left behind.” So, the angels of punishment will reply to him: “No. This is only something that you are saying [without substance].” An angel will say to them: “Were he to be returned, he would repeat what was forbidden to him.” When he enters his grave and the people leave him, Munkar and Nakir will come to him in the most horrifying form. They will stand him up and say to him: “Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who was your prophet?” So, his tongue will tremble, and he will not be able to answer. So, he will be struck in the chastisement of Allah, and all things will be frightened by that. Then, they will say to him: “Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who was your prophet?” So, he will say: “I don’t know.” So, they will say to him: “You did not seek knowledge, nor were you guided, nor did you triumph.” Then, a gate to the Fire will be opened for him, and they will take him to the boiling water of Hell. That is the saying of Allah, “But if he was of the astray deniers, then he will be brought into boiling water” in the grave “and burning in Hell”
(56:92-93) in the Hereafter.
