Good News of Paradise for the Sinner in His Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! I learned from the long hadith of al-Bara' ibn 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the state of the believer and the disbeliever at the time of death and in the grave, including the news of the Fire and abandonment for the disbeliever when questioned, and the news of Paradise and steadfastness for the believer. Is this good news also for the believers who will stumble on the Sirat, or who will be punished for some of their sins in this world before entering Paradise? Will these people be given the good news of Paradise in the grave, or will they be given the good news of the Fire?
It appears that the good news is given to the believer even if he has sins, and afterwards Allah may forgive them in the Hereafter, or He may punish him for them by the will of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He),As Allah the Exalted said: [al-Nisa:48] .
The questioner: He is given the good news of Paradise even if he has sins.
The Shaykh: He is given the good news of Paradise even if he has sins.

Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُThe questioner: He is given the good news of Paradise even if he has sins.
The Shaykh: He is given the good news of Paradise even if he has sins.
