2b/ Good deeds appear in the form of a man in the grave

2b/
Narrated by Ahmad in al-Musnad(394) and Ibn Maajah in al-Sunan (3781);
classed as hasan by al-Busayri in al-Zawaa'id and by al-Albaani in
al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (2829).
Al-Suyooti said in his commentary on the hadeeth (2/1242):
"In the form of a pale man". Al-Suyooti said: This is the one whose
colour has changed. It is as if he comes in this form so asto resemble
his companion in this world, or to draw attention to the fact that
just as his colour changed in this world because of staying up at
night to read Qur'aan, the Qur'aan will appear in a similar form
because of its striving on the Day of Resurrection until its
companionattains the ultimate goal in the Hereafter. End quote.
I have not found anything in the saheeh Sunnah to suggest that a man's
righteous deeds will appear in the form of a manin the grave except in
these twohadeeths.
As for the hadeeth which you quoted, it is not narrated in any of the
reliable books of Sunnah, and we have not found it with any isnaad,
saheeh (sound) or da'eef (weak). Rather it is something that appears
in somechat rooms or on some sites with no proof. Perhaps some
ignorant person wrote it himselfthen attributed it to the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), to encourage the people
to respect the Qur'aan and pay attention to it, but thesepeople do not
know that telling lies about the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) is one of the worst of sins that doom a person to
the Fire of Hell, and the good intention does not remove the burden of
sin for those who tell lies and fabricate ahaadeeth as if the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said them. The Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)said: "Telling lies about
me is notlike telling lies about anyone else. Whoever tells a lie
about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell." Narrated by
al-Bukhaari (1291) and Muslim (4)
And Allaah knows best.
