Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:9145 حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ السَّدُوسِيُّ ثنا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ثنا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُخَارِقِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ إِذَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِحَدِيثٍ أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ بِتَصْدِيقِ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا مَاتَ أُجْلِسَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْ رَبُّكَ؟ مَا دِينُكَ؟ مَنْ نَبِيُّكَ؟ فَيُثَبِّتُهُ اللهُ فَيَقُولُ رَبِّيَ اللهُ وَدِينِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَنَبِيِّي مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ فَيُوَسَّعُ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَيُفْرَجُ لَهُ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ {يُثَبِّتُ اللهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ وَيُضِلُّ اللهُ الظَّالِمِينَ}
English Translation
Abdullah ibn Mas'ud said: "When we narrate a hadith to you, we bring you its confirmation from the Book of Allah. When a Muslim servant dies, he is made to sit up in his grave and is asked: 'Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is your Prophet?' Allah makes him firm, and he says: 'My Lord is Allah, my religion is Islam, and my Prophet is Muhammad (peace be upon him).' Then his grave is made spacious for him and opened up." Then Abdullah recited: 'Allah keeps firm those who believe with the firm word in worldly life and in the Hereafter. And Allah sends astray the wrongdoers.'
