Discussion of some deviants who believe that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is alive, with an explanation of the ruling on those who say that the dead hear.

The questioner : ... complete my question, so he started saying to me: "My brother, you are a hadith scholar, you don't know what you are talking about." I said: "May Allah reward you with good, I came to benefit from you," and he did not let me complete my question at all. So he calmed down a bit, and I completed my question; I said to him: "Is the life of the Messenger like... like our life? I mean, I wanted to lead him on step by step." He said: "The Messenger is alive in his grave, he hears and sees." I said to him: "What does he see?" He said: "He sees us while we are in our gathering." I said to him: "What is the evidence?" He said: .

The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah from this clear misguidance! This is the calamity of the Muslims!

The questioner : I wish, Professor, that you would clarify for us the life of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned in the hadith? And regarding the hearing of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the non-hearing of the dead in general?

The Shaykh : The truth is, the repetition of these issues has made people lose enthusiasm for researching them; especially since we discussed this issue in detail in the introduction to the book "Al-Ayaat al-Bayyinaat fi 'Adam Sama' al-Amwaat 'Inda al-Hanafiyyah al-Sadaat." If you mention the title of the book and say this to Shaykh "Numan al-Alusi," the brother of Shaykh "Mahmud al-Alusi," the author of the well-known tafsir.
The summary is that the dead do not hear, by the text of the Noble Qur'an and the explicit hadiths that came regarding this issue, the clearest of which is his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): . If the Messenger had heard as this misguided man claims, citing verses whose meaning he did not understand, he would have said: "I hear whoever prays for me," and there would have been no need for Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) to single him out from all people, including the prophets and messengers, with angels who convey to him the prayers of those who pray for him. There would have been no need for him to say: ; would he have said: "There is no man who sends salam and prays for me but that I hear him; whether he is far from me or near me"? But his saying: is an explicit text that he (peace and blessings be upon him) does not hear individual prayers for him; so how can this misguided man say: "He hears our whispers and our secret speech, which may be idle talk"? I seek refuge in Allah!! This is proof that his creed is completely corrupt, and unfortunately, this deluded man, in addition to his misguidance, has reached the level of issuing fatwas! And this is what disturbs the Muslim today and reminds him of his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): .
