A Beautiful Hadith, Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) 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, 2 angels, Munkar and
Nakeer(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to
separate this 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 his
dead companion and says, 'I am the 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 Naker, 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..
Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: 'On the Day of Judgement,
before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than the
Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.'
May Allah make it easy for us
