The cry of the grave

Hadrat Abu Huraira (RA) is reported to have said thatonce he, in the
company of the Holy Prophet (SAW), joined a funeral. When the Holy
Prophet (SAW) reached the graveyard, he went to a grave and told that
there was not a single day that the grave did not make the clear
announcement."Oh, the offspring of Adam! you have forgottenme, I am
the place of solitude and I am the abode of loneliness, I am a lodging
of much straitened provided the Almighty expands me in the case of a
person whom He holds in esteem. After that the Holy Prophet (SAW)
said: The grave is either one of the gardens of Paradise orone of the
pits of hell.
