Ibn Jauzi (رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ) is reported to have said that Jesus Christ (blessings of Allah be upon him) was going with his companions. On his way, he saw the skull of a dead man. His companions requested him to pray to God that the skull be given the power of speech so that it might tell them about the past events and they should take a warning. Jesus Christ (blessings of Allah be upon him) offered two rak‘as of prayer and prayed to God. God bestowed a tongue on the skull.
It addressed Jesus (blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked him what he wanted to know, and added that God Almighty had commanded it to answer his questions. He asked what his position was in the world.
The skull said, ‘I was a king in, the world, I remained alive for one thousand years, begot one thousand children, conquered one thousand cities, defeated one thousand troops, and murdered one thousand kings. At last, the conqueror of the world died. I have come to the conclusion that it is devotion and piety that pay, and greed and avarice culminate in death. What is most honorable is submission to the Will of God Almighty.
Hadrat Sa‘id b. Mussayib (رَحِمَهُ ٱللَّٰهُ) states that he and his companions, led by Hadrat ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) went to the graveyard of Madinah. Hadrat ‘Ali (رضي الله عنه) sent salutations to the dead and asked whether they would like to tell their own story or like to hear from him:
Hadrat Sa‘id ((رضي الله عنه) is reported to have said that they heard the words “peace be with you,” and somebody asked the Caliph to apprise the dead of such happenings as had occurred after their death. Hadrat ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that their wives had married. Their properties had been divided. Their children had become orphans. Their enemies had occupied the buildings erected by them.
After hearing that, a dead body told me that their coffins had been torn to pieces. Their hair had fallen and scattered- their skins had been reduced to a powder. Their eyés had come out of their sockets and their nostrils were discharging pus. They had been rewarded for the same deeds that they had performed in the world. They had to suffer loss for the deeds which they had omitted to do. They received rewards or suffered losses according to whether their deeds were good or bad.
