Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A man passed away a few months ago, and a rumor spread that sounds are coming from this man's grave, suggesting that he is being punished. What is Your Eminence's opinion on this?
Answer:
Allah may cause some people to heed some of the warnings. Allah may cause a person to heed the admonition. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then he said: Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:239 He did not respond to the call to relieve himself of urine, meaning he did not purify himself from urine. As for the other, he used to spread backbiting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was shown the punishment of the two of them. Some people whom I do not suspect of lying told me that they had heard some of the punishment of some of their relatives. Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned in his book on the states of the graves a summary of this, which Allah revealed to some of His servants as an excuse and a reminder. We ask Allah for safety.
