The Shaykh :"And likewise, the attributes of the living are established in him *** conditioned by the life of the one possessing the corpse"
The attributes of the living are established in him, but they are conditioned by what? By his life. He cannot move, eat, drink, become angry, or be pleased unless he is alive. Therefore, there is no spirit in him unless he is alive. If he is dead, the spirit is lost, just as the rest of the attributes are lost. Settle down, everyone. This is one of the opinions of those who speak about the spirit, that it is an attribute of the body that departs with the departure of the body. So, the attributes of the living are established in him, and the message is conditioned by life. All the attributes are conditioned by life. The message is a description, conditioned by the life of the messenger. So, when he died, what happened? The message ceased. It is necessary that when the body dies, its attributes die and depart. So, this corpse in the grave: is it a messenger or not? It appears that you did not understand. According to their opinion, it is not a messenger, because the attributes of the living are conditioned by his life, and the life of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has been lost and ceased. Therefore, the attributes that require life have ceased. For this reason, he said:
