Hadith 54

(The book) ‘Falah Al-Sa’ail’ – I saw in the book ‘Al-Istiyab’ in the fourth volume, ‘Sufyan Bin Al-Haris son of Abdul Muttalib-as had dug his grave three days before he died, and he was a brother of Rasool-Allah-saww from the breastfeeding’. And Muhammad Bin Saeed mentioned in the seventh volume of the book ‘Al-Tabaqaat’, ‘The grave of Sufyan Bin Al-Haris son of Abdullah-as was dug during his lifetime’. He said, ‘And my grandfather Waram Bin Abu Faris, may Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, Sanctify his soul, and he is from the one who had been emulated in his deeds, he had bequeathed to make an Agate stone to be in his mouth after his death, upon it being names of the Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws. I had an Agate stone engraved, upon it was, ‘Allah-azwj is my Lord-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is my Prophet-saww, and Ali-asws – and I named the Imams-asws up to their last ones – ‘are my Imams-asws, and my means’, and I bequeathed to make it to be in my mouth after the death for it to be an answer to the two Angels during the questioning in the grave to be eased, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’. [73] (not a Hadeeth)
And I saw in the book ‘Rabie Al-Abrar’ of Al-Zamakhshari in the chapters on clothing and the jewellery on one of the deceased, he has written upon a stone the testimony, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’, and bequeathed that it be made to be in his mouth at his death. Then he said, ‘And make to be with it something from the soil of Al-Husayn-asws, for it has been reported that it is a safety’’. [74] (not a Hadeeth)
It is reported from the Prophet-saww: ‘The first of glad tidings what the Momin will be given with is that it will be said to him, ‘You have come forward with goodly advancing. Allah-azwj has Forgiven for the ones who had escorted you and has Answered for the ones who had sought Forgiveness for you, and has Accepted for the ones who had testified for you’. Then he-saww indoctrinated the deceased (Talqeen), and placed the bricks upon him, and he‑saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Connect his loneliness, and Comfort his restlessness, and Mercy his estrangement, and Settle Your-azwj Mercy to him, such Mercy he can be needless by it from mercy of the ones apart from You-azwj, and Resurrect him with the ones he had been befriending’. When he-saww was free from placing the bricks upon him, he-saww came out from the grave from the side of his legs, and he-saww poured the soil upon him, and the ones present over there poured the soil with the back of their hands, except the one who happened to have for him the kinship with him, and he-saww said: We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj! ‘This is what Allah and His Rasool promised us, and Allah and His Rasool spoke the Truth’. [33: 22]’. O Allah-azwj! Increase us in Eman and submission’’. [75]
