The ruling on the statement that the Prophet hears while he is in his grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Some people say that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) hears while he is in his grave, and the evidence is his statement (peace and blessings be upon him): “Pray upon me, for your prayers reach you wherever you are.” Is this statement correct?
Answer:
Those who say this are blind. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say he hears it; he said, "Your prayers reach me." He did not say, "I hear them." He said, "Your prayers reach me," and he did not say, "I hear them." It has come in the hadith that Allah has assigned angels to convey the salam of His ummah to them. Yes.
