The Grave

When ‘Uthman ibn ‘Affan (ra) stood by a grave he would weep until his beard became wet.

It was said to him, “You remember Paradise and Hell and you do not weep, but you weep because of this?”


He said, “The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: ‘The grave is the first of the stages of the Hereafter; whoever is saved from it, whatever comes afterwards will be easier

for him, but if he is not saved from it, what comes afterwards will be worse for him.’”

And the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “I have never seen any scene but the grave is more frightening than it.”


(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2308; Ibn Maajah, 4567; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 1684).
