"Do you know, after a man dies, what happens to his soul?
One day a companion of the Prophet (PBUH) died. The Prophet (PBUH) performed his funeral and then a group of Companions brought the dead body to the graveyard for burial. Our Prophet (PBUH) also walked with them.
Two Companions started digging the grave.They all sat around the dead body and waited until the digging of the grave was over.
The Prophet was looking at the graves with deep attention and after a while he looked at everyone and asked, "Do you know what happens to a person's soul after he dies?"
Everyone was very interested and said to the Prophet, - O Messenger of Allah! Tell us. Nabiji remained silent for a while. Everyone came to him and sat around him. They did not know what happens to the soul after death. Today you will hear it from Nabiji's mouth. What a great fortune. Everyone eagerly came to Nabiji to listen.
He looked at the grave once and raised his head to look at the sky
Then he started telling the story
"Listen, when a man is on his death-bed, he is afraid of the angel of death; but to the faithful and good man the angel of death greets him with a smiling face, comforts him, and sits by his head slowly and carefully. Then, looking at the almost dead man, he says,
- O Holy Spirit! Accept the forgiveness and love of your Lord and come out of this body
When the soul of a believer comes out, he does not feel any kind of pain and suffering
The Prophet gave a better example and said,
-Imagine that just as a drop of water falls silently from above after a jug of water is filled to the brim, so silently and effortlessly the soul comes out of its body.
At that time two other angels brought from heaven a white sheet of soft thread, very fragrant, and they wrapped the soul in that sheet and took it to the sky. When they reached the sky, other angels came forward to see the soul.
Come near and say, Subhanallah! What a beautiful soul, how beautiful its scent! Then everyone wants to know,
-Whose soul is this?
The angels who carried the soul replied, "He is Fulan Ibn Fulan."
(The Prophet said in Arabic, in Bengali, "So-and-so's son is so-and-so")
The rest of the Ferestagon then salutes the soul, then asks again, - What did he do? Why is there so much fragrance in his soul? The angel who carries the soul then said,
- We heard people saying below, he was a good man, a good servant of God, very kind, he did a lot of good to people.
After saying this, the Prophet stopped a little
Then with a good look at everyone, he raised his voice a little and said, that's why I'm saying, be careful! But you will never misbehave with people
Whatever people say about you after you die, these spirit-carrying angels will go to heaven and say the same to others.
After saying this he kept quiet again and looked at the grave
I started to say again
At this time, when people prepare the dead body for burial on earth by bathing, Allah Ta'ala will say to the angels who carry the soul, "Go, now put this soul back into its body, I created man from clay, put his soul back in the clay body." I will bring him back to life again when the time comes.
Then after leaving the dead body in the grave, two angels will come, their names are Munkar and Nakir
They will ask about the creator of the deceased, his religion and the Prophet
After Munkar Naki's departure, the soul will be lonely again in the dark grave. It will wait in some kind of unknown fear. Where is it? What will you do? An uncertainty surrounds him
At that time he will see, a very beautiful person has come to meet him in his grave. After seeing him, the soul will be very impressed. His face is so enchanting and beautiful, he has never seen in his life.
The spirit will see him and ask, - who are you?
That man will say,
- I have brought you very good news, you have passed the test of the world, Allah Ta'ala has arranged Paradise for you, do you want to see it?
The soul will be very happy and say, - Of course I want to see, show me a little paradise. The man will say,
- Look to your right. The soul will look to the right and see that the wall of the grave is no longer there. Through the door of that wall, a beautiful heaven is visible far away. How shall I go? The man will smile softly and say, When the time is right, you will be there and stay. For now, you have to wait until the last day. Do not be afraid. I am with you. I will accompany you until that day.
The soul will then ask him again,
- But who are you?
Then the man will say, - I am your past deeds, all your good deeds in the world, all your virtues. Today you see me as a companion. Allah has sent me here to accompany you. Saying this, the man cares for the soul. Will shake and say, - O Holy Spirit! Now you sleep in peace and rest in peace. After saying this, the soul will glance at the heavens and once in this gaze will fall asleep in deep tranquility.
After saying this, the Prophet stopped a little. The Companions then wiped their wet eyes with their cloths
(Based on two hadiths of Bukhari and Musnad)
May Allah grant us Tawfiq to be the Holy Spirit.........Ameen.
