MAY ALLAH ACCOMPANY OF THIS HANDSOME MAN TO ALL OF US, THROUGHOUT OUR LIFE, IN GRAVE AND HEREAFTER. AMIN.
Rasoolullah (Sallallahu alaihi Wassalam)said: 'When a man dies and hisrelatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by hishead. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud andthe chest of the deceased.
When after the burial, the people returnhome, 2 angels, Munkar andNakeer(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try toseparate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead manin privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, 'He is my companion, heis my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed forinterrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted intoParadise '.
Thereafterhe turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am theQur'an, which you used to read, sometimesin a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After theinterrogation ofMunkar andNakeer, you will have no grief.'
When the interrogation isover, the handsome man arranges for him fromAl-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.
Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassalam)said: 'On theDay of Judgement, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than theQur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.'
MayAllah bestow this favour on all of us.
