How different, dear readers, are those who are tortured from those who
are blessed in their graves!
How different, dear readers, is he who previews the Mercy of Allaah
The Almighty, fromhim who previews His Wrath in the grave.
I want you, dear reader, to imagine these scenes and envision them
with your entire soul.
Here are some images related to us by the Messenger of Allaah, , about
the torture of the grave:
The first image:
It is narrated on the authority of Samurah ibn Jundub that he
said,"The Prophet, , very often used to ask his Companions: "Did
anyoneof you see a dream (tonight)?" Thereupon, dreams would be
narrated to him by those whom Allaah The Almighty wished to narrate.
One morning, the Prophet, , said:
"Last night, two angels came to me (in a dream) and awakened me and
said to me: 'Proceed!' I set out with them and wecame across a man
lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head,
holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's
head, crushing it. The rock rolled away and he followed it and took it
back. By the time he reached the man, his head had returned to
thenormal state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before.
I said to my two companions, 'Subhaanallaah! Who are these two
persons?' They said: 'Proceed! Proceed!'"
Imagine the scene: a manlying down, and another man standing over his
head, holding a big rock, and throwing the rock at the head of the man
lying on the ground, crushing it and then the rock rolls away. What is
astonishing is that this man with the crushed head stands up from his
place and hastens to bring back the stone to the thrower so he can to
throw at his head once again, as if he were enjoying his torture.
Whodo you think this man is? We shall know in a little while.
The second image:
"So we proceeded and came to a man lying flat on his back and another
man standing over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he continued
to put the hook in one side of the man's mouth and tear offthat side
of his face to the back (of the neck) and similarly tear off his nose
from front to back and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to
the other side of the man's face and did just ashe had done with the
first side. He hardly completed this side whenthe other side returned
to its normal state. Then he returned to repeat what he had done
before. I said to my two companions: 'Subhaanallaah! Who are these two
persons?' They said to me: 'Proceed! Proceed!'"
This image is even more odious: it is a man lying flat on his back and
another standing over his head carrying a bent-headed sharp-edged
piece of iron, similar to a fishing hook. The man who was standing
comes to one side of the face of the man who was lying down and does
an amazing thing: he tears off his face from the edge of the mouth of
that side to the back, anddoes the same with the nose and the eye. Who
do you think this man is? We shall know a while later.
The third image:
"So we proceeded and came across something like a furnace, in which
there was a great deal of noise and voices. We looked into it and
found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire was reaching to
them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried out loudly.
I asked them: 'Who are these?' They said to me: 'Proceed! Proceed!'"
This is also a very terrible image of naked men and women standing in
an oven-like place and making noisy loud voices,and then suddenly,
they are exposed to flames coming from underneaththem, causing their
voices to become louder and their pain to increase. Who do you think
these are? We shall know a while later.
The fourth image:
"So we proceeded and came across a river red like blood, and behold,
inthe river there was a manswimming, and on the bank there was a man
who had collected many stones. Behold, while the other man was
swimming, he went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter
(on the bank) threw a stone into his mouth whereupon he started
swimming again. He returned (once again), and every time he returned
to him, he opened his mouth and the other (on the bank) threw a stone
into it. I asked my two companions: 'Who are these (two) persons?'
They replied: 'Proceed! Proceed!'"
The last image is of a man swimming in a river of blood, and another
man standing on the bank of the river, carrying many stones. Every
time the swimmer comes to him, he opens his mouth to him, as if heis
inviting him to throw astone into it, and he actually throws it into
hismouth. Then, he swims a little with the stone and returns to him to
repeat the same action once again. Who do you think this man is? We
shall know in the following article who all these people are.
