Holy Qur'an: Your Companion in the Grave

Rasulullah (saw) said: When a man dies and his relatives are busy in
funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the
dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the
chest of the deceased.
When after the burial, the people return home, two angels, Munkar and
Nakeer, come in the grave and try to separatethis handsome man so that
they may be able to interrogate the dead man in privacy about his
faith. But the handsome man says, He is my companion, he is my friend.
I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for
interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him
admitted into Paradise.
Thereafter he turns to hisdead companion and says, I am the Noble
Qur'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and
sometimes in a low voice.Do not worry. After the interrogation of
Munkar and Nakeer, you will have no grief.
When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from
Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.
Also Rasulullah (saw)said:"On the Day of Judgement, before Allah
(SWT), no other intercessor will have a greater status than the Noble
Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel."
