Husain ibn Wuhuh relates that Talha ibn Bra‘a ibn Hazib fell ill and the Holy Prophet came to inquire after him. After he had seen him he said: I conceive that Talha’s end is near. Let me know when it comes and prepare his funeral quickly for it is not fitting that the corpse of a Muslim should be detained among his family (Abu Daud).
Ali relates: We were in Baqi‘ah cemetery with a funeral when the Holy Prophet came and sat down and we gathered round him. He had a pointed stick in his hand. He bent down and began to scrape the ground with his stick. Then he said: Everyone of you has his place determined in the Fire or in Paradise. He was asked: Messenger of Allah, shall we then rest content with that which has been determined for each of us? He answered: Go on striving. For everyone that has been made easy which has been created for him (Bokhari and Muslim).
Uthman ibn Affan relates that after the burial of a deceased person the Holy Prophet would stop for a while and. urge: Seek forgiveness for your brother and pray for steadfastness for him, for he is now being questioned (Abu Daud).
Ayesha relates that a man said to the Holy Prophet: My mother has died suddenly. I believe that if she could have spoken she would have given away something in charity. Would it count as meritorious on her part if I were to give away something in charity on her behalf? He answered: Yes (Bokhari and Muslim).
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: When a person dies his actions come to an end except in respect of three matters that he leaves behind: a continuing charity, knowledge from which benefit could be derived and righteous issue who pray for him (Muslim).
Anas relates that some companions of the Holy Prophet passed a funeral and praised the person who had died, upon which the Holy Prophet said: It has become incumbent. Then they passed another funeral and spoke ill of the person who had died and the Holy Prophet said: It has become incumbent. Umar ibn Khattab inquired from the Holy Prophet; What has become incumbent? He answered: That one you praised and Paradise became incumbent for him, and of the other you spoke ill and the Fire became incumbent for him. You are the witnesses of Allah upon the earth (Bokhari and Muslim).
Abu Aswad relates: I came to Medina and was sitting with Umar ibn Khattab when a funeral passed and those present praised the goodness of the deceased. On this Umar said: It has become incumbent. Then another" funeral passed and those present praised the goodness of the deceased. Again Umar said: It has become incumbent. Then a third funeral passed and those present condemned the vileness of the deceased. This time also Umar said: It’ has become incumbent. On this I inquired: Commander of the Faithful, what is it that has become incumbent? He answered: I said only that which the Holy Prophet had said. He said: Allah will admit into Paradise any Muslim whose goodness is attested to by four people. We asked: Should there be only three? He answered: Even if there should be only three. Then we asked: Should there be only two? He answered: Even if there should be only two. We refrained from asking him about one (Bokhari).
* Anas relates that the Holy Prophet said: When a Muslim dies three of whose children had died before attaining puberty Allah will admit him to Paradise by His grace having mercy on them (Bokhari and Muslim).
Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet’ said:,A Muslim, three of whose children die, will not be touched by the Fire, except symbolically (Bokhari and Muslim).
Ibn Shamasah relates: We were present with Amr ibn ‘As when he was in extremity. He wept for a long time and turned his face to the wall. His son tried to comfort him, saying: Father, did not the Holy Prophet give you this good news? Did he not give you that good news? Then he turned his face towards us and said: Our best preparation is the affirmation: There is none worthy of worship save Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger. I have passed through three stages. I recall whea no one was a bitterer enemy of the Holy Prophet than myself: nor was anything dearer to me than that if I had the power I would put an end to him. Had I died in that condition, I would have been one of the denizens of the Fire. When Allah put Islam in my heart, I went to the Holy Prophet and said: Extend your right hand, so that T might swear allegiance to you. He put forth his right hand, but I withdrew my hand. He said: What is the matter, Amr? I said: I wish to make a condition. He asked: What condition do you wish to make? I answered: That my sins will be forgiven. He said: Know you not that Islam wipes out all that has gone before it, that Migration wipes out all that has gone before it, and that the Pilgrimage wipes out all that has gone before it? Thereafter, no one was dearer to me than the Holy Prophet nor was anyone more glorious than him in my eyes. So bright was his glory that I could not look at his face for any length of time, so that if I were asked to describe him I would not be able to as I had not looked at him long enough. Had 1 died in that condition I could have hoped to be one of the dwellers of Paradise. Thereafter we were made responsible for many things, and I know not how I shall fare with respect to them. When I die no mourner or fire should attend my bier. When you bury me throw the earth gently over me and tarry over my tomb for the space of time it takes to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat, so that I should draw comfort from your presence and can consider what answer shall I make to the messengers of my Lord (Muslim).
