THE NATURE OF BARZAKH -No: 5 - The Cry of the Grave


The Cry of the Grave

Saiyiduna Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه is reported to have said that once he, in the company of the Holy Prophet (Muhammad Rasulullah), joined a funeral party. When the Holy Prophet Muhammad Rasulullah reached the graveyard, he went to a grave and said that there was not a single day that the grave did not make a clear announcement.

Adam! You have forgotten. in, I am a place of solitude, I am an abode of loneliness, I am a lodging of wilderness, I am a dwelling place of worms and I am much straitened provided the Almighty expands me in the case of a person whom He holds in esteem. After that, the Holy Prophet Muhammad Rasulullah said: The grave is either one out of the gardens of paradise or one of the pits of hell.
