Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: How do we reconcile the hadith, “The souls of the martyrs are in the crops of green birds,” with the statement that bliss is in the grave?
Answer:
Yes, it is in the grave and it is in Paradise. Their souls come to the graves and go to Paradise, and they do not cease. The soul is among the wonders of the creation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is in the highest assembly, enjoying bliss, and it connects with the deceased in his grave, receiving bliss in the grave. The matter of the soul is known only to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He); it does not fall under our estimation or calculation. Yes.
