Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the hadith of the squeezing of the grave, is this hadith authentic?
The Shaykh : A hundred times authentic, ... !
The questioner : Why did you say it that way?
The Shaykh : Because it is very authentic!
The questioner : ... Sa'id ... .
The Shaykh : It is not Sa'id, it is Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. There are many hadiths, but since you asked about the squeezing of the grave, I said it is authentic a hundred times, meaning that it is mass-transmitted (mutawatir), because it came in many different wordings, all of which converge on establishing the squeezing of the grave. We ask Allah to lighten it for us.
The questioner : A young man asked about this hadith,, so the questioner asks the Shaykh about this hadith, meaning, does the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also get squeezed? Are there proofs regarding this for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said:
The Shaykh : As for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is nothing.
The questioner : ... .
The Shaykh : The hadith that water is pure is applied, and one looks at the effort from another angle. Two qullahs in which a drop falls; the apparent meaning of the hadith is that there is impurity there, whereas it does not become impure because it is not affected, nor does it change the reality of the water from this drop. And the reverse is the reverse, as you heard: two qullahs of water against two qullahs of urine.
The Shaykh : ... Many simple people think that a Muslim should at least be emotional toward the Iranians rather than the Iraqis; this is better, and this is a very serious error. This is like your friend who said that coke is mentioned in the Qur'an, and he talks among people that coke is in the Qur'an and there is evidence for it from the Qur'an. He said to him: What is the evidence? He said: Coke, meaning, what is the star, O owner of the star?!The questioner : There was a Shaykh in the army, and there was a man whose name was Mr. Coke in English. He said to him: Your name is mentioned in the Qur'an, and he cited this verse as proof.
The questioner : ... Some people say, and this is intended to be a challenge, meaning the fingerprint. This statement may be correct, but it is not necessarily that this understanding is correct. I am saying this is my opinion; it may be correct, but this understanding is not necessarily attributed to the Qur'an such that you clarify that there is another secret existing in this Qur'an ... .

If anyone were to be saved from the squeezing of the grave, Sa'd would be saved.
لو نجى أحد من ضغطة القبر لنجا سعدThe questioner : A young man asked about this hadith,
Every grave has a squeezing, and if anyone were to be saved from it, Sa'd would be saved.
إن لكل قبرٍ ضمن ولو نجا منها لنجا سعدThe Shaykh : As for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), it is nothing.
