The ruling on the story of Kharijah ibn Zayd speaking after his death

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Imam al-Bukhari mentioned in his *al-Tarikh al-Kabir*, in the biography of Kharijah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him), that he spoke after his death. Then Imam al-Bayhaqi said in *Dala'il al-Nubuwwah* that its chain of narration is authentic. The question is: how should such a story be understood? Since it is known that one who has died does not speak?

Answer:
Allah is capable of all things. If this happened, then it is within the power of Allah the Exalted, and it is considered a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person). Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.
