The manner of the life of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in his grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: What is meant by the life of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in his grave? Is it a barzakh (the interval between death and resurrection) life?

Answer:
It is a barzakh life, like that of the other martyrs. It is from the matters of the Hereafter, not like his life in this world. Therefore, the Companions did not go to his grave saying, "The Messenger is alive," and asking him or requesting things from him; they did not do that. And although he is alive, his life is a barzakh life, a life from the matters of the Hereafter, not like his life in this world. There is a difference between them. Yes.
