The questioner : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2460Da'if (Darussalam) .
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Is this a hadith?
The Shaykh : It is a weak hadith, but its meaning is derived from authentic hadiths. Perhaps you remember:. This is the meaning of the hadith: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2460Da'if (Darussalam) approximately, or it conveys this meaning, even though the hadith is weak. There is some exaggeration in the description of it being a garden from the gardens of Paradise or a pit from the pits of the Fire, but he receives from its spirit... and its bliss if he is righteous, and the opposite is the opposite as we mentioned.
The grave is but a garden from the gardens of Paradise, or a pit from the pits of the Fire.
القبر روضة من رياض الجنة أو حفرة من حفر النارThe Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Is this a hadith?
The Shaykh : It is a weak hadith, but its meaning is derived from authentic hadiths. Perhaps you remember:
That when the deceased is placed in his grave, if he is righteous, a window is opened for him through which he looks at his home in Paradise; so he receives from its spirit, its fragrance, and its bliss, and he continues to be thus blessed until the Hour occurs. And if he is, may Allah protect us, not righteous, a window is opened for him to the Fire and he sees his home from the Fire; so he receives from its wind, its smoke, and its flames, and he continues to be thus tormented until the Hour occurs.
أنَّ الميت إذا وُضع في قبره كان صالحًا فتحت له طاقة نافذة يطلُّ منها على منزله في الجنة ؛ فيأتيه من روحها وريحها ونعيمها ، فلا يزال كذلك ينعَّم حتى تقومَ السَّاعة ، وإذا كان - والعياذ بالله - غير صالح فتحت له طاقة إلى النار ويرى منزله من النار ؛ فيأتيه من ريحها ودُخانها ولهيبها ، فلا يزال كذلك يعذَّب حتى تقوم الساعةa garden from the gardens of Paradise, or a pit from the pits of the Fire
روضة من رياض الجنة أو حفرة من حفر النار
