Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is a question that has been repeated. He says: A few days ago, an image circulated among people of a man who came out of his grave, and his features had changed, and he was in a state that no one could look at. Is this true, or is this from the punishment of the grave that Allah inflicted upon this person?
Answer:
We live with charlatans and liars who live with us, either inside our lands or they infiltrate from outside, and they promote these matters. In the city, how many years ago did they dress up a dead man wrapped in cloth? A live snake was coiled around him, a live snake and a cobra, and the people of the city refuted this story and said: We did not see it, nor did it happen, it was only a lie. And now they brought one who came out of the grave. He said to me: In the grave, he is not coming out.
Until the Day of Resurrection, he is not coming out to the world, ever. Until the Day of Resurrection, he is not coming out. This is from lying and from charlatanry. They come by way of admonition; perhaps this is what is not insane, but it is from exertion (ijtihad) while he is ignorant. He exerts himself while he is ignorant, wanting to remind people. This is like those who fabricate hadith, they lie about the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and say: This is for the sake of softening hearts and admonition, and it does no harm.
This is of this type. This is lying about Allah (Mighty and Majestic), lying about His Messenger. Yes.
