English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: 'When death comes to a person, the angels attend him. If he was a righteous man, they say: Come out, O good soul that was in a good body! Come out praised, and receive glad tidings of comfort, sweet fragrance, and a Lord who is not angry. This continues to be said until the soul comes out, then it is taken up to the heaven and the gate is opened for it. It is said: Who is this? It is said: So-and-so. They say: Welcome to the good soul that was in a good body! Enter praised, and receive glad tidings of comfort, sweet fragrance, and a Lord who is not angry. This continues to be said until it reaches the heaven in which Allah the Almighty is. And if the man was evil, they say: Come out, O wicked soul that was in a wicked body! Come out disgraced, and receive tidings of boiling water, scalding fluid, and other similar torments. This continues until the soul comes out, then it is taken up to the heaven and the gate is sought to be opened. It is said: Who is this? It is said: So-and-so. It is said: No welcome for the wicked soul that was in a wicked body! Go back disgraced, for the gates of heaven will not be opened for you. So it is sent down from the heaven and ends up in the grave. Then the righteous man is sat up and told something similar to what was said in the first narration, and the evil man is sat up and told something similar to what was said in the first narration.'
