Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Shaykh, may Allah forgive you. A man passed away, and when he was placed on the washing board, his face turned away from the qiblah until the details were finished. And when he was placed in the grave, this happened, and I was one of the witnesses.
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah for safety.
The questioner:
I asked his awliya (close friends of Allah) and said to them, why is this? They said, pray for him, but only for forgiveness. The important thing is that I tried to understand, and they said that he did not pray and was addicted to intoxicants.
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah; there is no power and no strength except with Allah.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
This happened to.
The questioner:
I did it myself.
The Shaykh:
It has happened to many people.
The questioner:
Indeed, in the rain.
The Shaykh:
He who does not pray is not forgiven, and he does not pray.
The questioner:
I did not know that we are after the time.
The Shaykh:
No, no, we ask Allah, praise be to Him.
The questioner:
Perhaps we are targeted after the burial.
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah for well-being, we ask Allah for well-being.
The questioner:
There is no power and no strength except by.
The Shaykh:
Many people have seen signs in graves. A grave may be opened after burial for a need, either because they forgot a tool, a lever, or a shovel. Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned wonders in his book "Ahwa' al-Qubur" (The Desires of Graves); some graves are opened, and when the owner of a shovel comes with a shovel, the neck of the deceased is seen burning with fire.
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
And some, when the grave is opened, find it helping with fire against its owner. No, may Allah show them some of the wonders and the proofs of the power of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Then he asks, what do you ask me? It is said that this is for the one who prays? It is said that this is for the one who gives zakah? It is said such and such?
I myself, for about forty years, or rather about thirty-five years, what came was a man from the desert? They mentioned to me about an aunt of mine who screams in her grave. I was surprised by this. He went to her after a long period, stood at the grave, and heard screaming in the same grave. So he mentioned it and asked about her, and they said that she is not remembered.
The questioner:
There is no power or strength except by Allah.
The Shaykh:
She screams for a long time, and her scream is heard in the grip.
The questioner:
There is no power or strength except by Allah.
The Shaykh:
In the two Sahihs, Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who said: "I passed by
The questioner:
Yes.
The Shaykh:
And as for the other, he used to spread the news of the news. This is the news of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Because they know.
The questioner:
May Allah will.
The Shaykh:
That he did not purify himself from urine, he did not turn away from urine, he was stained with impurities and did not care. And the meaning of one who is stained with impurity is that his prayer is not valid. And the second one walks with the news of the Prophet among the people with talk and gossip, "So-and-so said such and such about him," "So-and-so said such and such about him," "So-and-so said such and such about him," he stirs up fire among the people. We ask Allah for safety.
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh:
Graves have many terrors. We ask Allah for safety.
The questioner:
From the fatwas, O Shaykh, issued even in the book, what is its name, of Shaykh al-Uthaymeen (may Allah reward him with good). The, the radiant light.
The Shaykh:
The longest thing.
The questioner:
Yes, he said if a person does not pray, then his awliya (close friends of Allah) must inform the people that he did not pray, and no prayer is performed over him, and he is not buried with the Muslims in their graveyards.
The Shaykh:
True, true, yes, true, good.
The questioner:
Shaykh, this is happening, why do some people do it?
The Shaykh:
He prays, they go to bury him in a place far from the Muslims.
The questioner:
Allah is the Greatest.
The Shaykh:
In a pit far from the people, from the graves, they make a pit over it and it is not known about it.
The questioner:
But O Shaykh, those who intentionally bury them and deceive the people.
The Shaykh:
In reality.
