Question:
He says: I know that the earth does not consume the bodies of the prophets, but does this apply to the righteous awliya (close friends of Allah)? And if so, has anyone experienced anything of this?
Answer:
The hadiths came regarding the bodies of the prophets (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1637Da’if (Darussalam). As for others, it is not necessary that the earth consumes their bodies; it may consume them, or it may not. People have witnessed in many lands, upon certain occasions, bodies that the earth did not consume, belonging to those who are thought to be righteous, but it is not known whether the earth will consume them afterwards or not.
The point is that this is not necessary; the earth may consume them, or it may not. There is no explicit text regarding this; the explicit text came only regarding the bodies of the prophets (peace and blessings be upon him). As for others, the period may be long during which their bodies are not consumed, or the earth may consume them. In the authentic hadith:, and that nothing remains of the body of the son of Adam except the tailbone; which is the bone at the bottom of the buttocks. This remains, and from it the sons of Adam are gathered. The implication of this hadith is that bodies are consumed in the future, even if the period during which they remain is long; their end is to perish and disappear. This is only regarding the bodies of the prophets (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
