The Book of Asceticism · Hadith 232 (#Ḥadīth #2)

إبراهيم بن أبي البلاد عن بعض أصحابه رفعه (يرفعه) إلى بعض الفقهاء قال: يقال للمؤمن في قبره: من ربك؟ فيقول: الله فيقال له: ما دينك؟ فيقول: الاسلام فيقال: من نبيك فيقول: محمد صلى الله عليه وآله فيقال: من امامك؟ فيقول: علي عليه السلام (فيقال: كيف علمت بذلك؟ فيقول: أمر هداني الله له وثبتني عليه (فيقال له: نم نومة لاحم فيها نومة العروس ثمن يفتح له باب إلى الجنة فيدخل عليه من روحها وريحانها (قال فيقول: (يا) رب عجل لي قيام الساعة لعلى أرجع إلى أهلي ومالي، قال: ويقال للكافر: من ربك؟ فيقول: الله فيقال له: من نبيك؟ فيقول: محمد فيقال له: ما دينك؟ فيقول: الاسلام فيقال: من أين علمت ذلك؟ فيقول: سمعت الناس يقولون به فقلت (فيقال له من وليك؟ فيقول: لا أدرى فيضربانه بمرزبة لو اجتمع عليها الثقلان الإنس والجن لم يطيقوها قال: فيذوب كما يذوب الرصاص ثم يعيدان فيه الروح فيوضع قلبه بين لوحين من نار فيقول: يا رب اخر قيام الساعة.

2.Ibrāhīm ibn Abī al-Bilād narrated from one of his companions who attributed it to one of the learned sages who said, “A believer is asked [by two angels] in his grave, ‘Who is your Lord?’ So he replies, ‘Allah.’ Then he is asked, ‘What is your religion?’ So he replies, ‘Islam.’ Then he is asked, ‘Who is your Prophet?’ So he replies, ‘Muḥammad (ṣ).’ Then he is asked, ‘Who is you Imam?’ He replies, ‘ʿAlī .’ He is asked, ‘How did you know this?’ So he replies, ‘It is a matter to which Allah guided me and made me steadfast upon it.’ He will thus be told, ‘Sleep a slumber without any dream – the sleep of a bride.’ Then one of the doors of Paradise is opened for him and its breeze and fragrance enters upon him [in his grave]. He will then say, ‘O Lord, hasten for me the establishment of the Hour [of Judgment] so that I may return to my family and wealth!’” Then he said, “A disbeliever [on the other hand] is asked, ‘Who is your Lord?’ So he replies, ‘Allah.’ Then he is asked, ‘Who is your Prophet?’ So he replies, ‘Muḥammad.’ Then he is asked, ‘What is your religion?’ So he says, ‘Islam.’ He is asked, ‘Where did you learn that from?’ So he replies, ‘I heard people saying it so I [too] said it.’ He is then asked, ‘Who is your walī?’ So he answers, ‘I do not know.’ So they both strike him with an iron rod in a manner which all the humans and jinn would not be able to bear even if they came together! He will thus melt the way lead melts. Then, they will return his soul into his body and place his heart between two tablets of fire. [Knowing what awaits him,] he will say, ‘O Lord, delay the Hour of Reckoning.’”[1]
