The weakness of the hadith that a man is called by his mother’s name on the Day of Resurrection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
It is well known among many people that on the Day of Resurrection, a person is called by his mother’s name! Is this correct?
It is not correct, for it is established in al-Bukhari and others that “every treacherous person will have a banner raised on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be proclaimed: This is the treachery of so-and-so, son of so-and-so”. By this, we know the weakness of the hadith of Abu Umamah regarding instructing the deceased after his burial, which states that when the deceased is buried, one stands over him and says: “O so-and-so, son of so-and-so, remember what you left the world with: the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,” followed by the rest of the instruction. Since this is not correct, this practice of instruction is a religious innovation (bid'ah).And the correct view is: When the deceased is buried, a person should stand over his grave and seek forgiveness for him,He says: saying: “O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, forgive him, O Allah, grant him steadfastness, O Allah, grant him steadfastness, O Allah, grant him steadfastness”. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he finished burying a deceased person, would stand over him and say: “Seek forgiveness for your brother and ask Allah for steadfastness for him, for he is now being questioned”.
