  ๐Ÿ“— Explaining (Hadeeth Jibrael)๐Ÿ“—

By: Shaykh Ibn Othaimeen

(Last day - A- Definition, Barzakh, B-Events, and C- Grave test).


What is it about? ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

A great Hadeeth that gives a clear vison of what the Deen (Religion) of Islam is.
We will concentrate on the matter of faith (Iman).
We will study it from the explanation of Shaykh Ibn Othaimeen rA.

In this Dars will discuss: ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

Human life is divided into 3 lives:
1- Our life now: for testing  ..
2- Barzakh life: from the minute of death until the 2nd blow of the trumpet ..
3- Judgement day life: staring from the second blow in the trumpet until final destination.

What will happen to us after death up to final destination, is what we will discuss in here.

5- The Belief in the Last Day


At death time (Barzakh):๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

What will happen to each one of us at death time is Ghaib (unseen world) for us ..
But Wahy (Hadeeth of AlBaraa ibn Azib) is describing it for us so clear ..
For believer and disbeliever ..
What will happen for their souls?
Grave test (Fitnah) for both, and results ..


Meaning of Last day:๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

The belief in the Last Day is the true certain belief in all what Allรขh has stated in His Book, and all what His Messenger has informed about in his Sunnah (Tradition). It is like events which shall be after death such as the trial of the grave, and its happiness and torture, the Resurrection, Al-Hashr (the Gathering), As-Sohof (the Scrolls), Al-Hisab (the Account), Al-Mizan (the Balance), Al-Hawdh (the Fountain), As-Sirat (the Bridge), Ash-Shafa’a (the Intercession), the Paradise and the Hell, in addition to all what Allรขh has prepared to their people and all what will be amongst signs of the Last Day, small ones and Big ones.

The Last Day is the Day of Resurrection on which people will be sent to get their fair account, rewards and punishments.

It was named as such because there is no day after it, for people of Paradise will settle in their places, and people of Hell will settle in theirs too.

The 11th Dars (class):  

[5th pillar: The Belief in Last day - 
๐Ÿ…ฑ- Events].

Dated 28th of Moharram 1446H๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ 

 

The Belief in the Last Day includes three aspects:

First: the Belief in the Resurrection, which means the raise of the dead. And this happens when the second blow in the Trumpet is blown, at that time all mankind will stand before their Lord barefooted, naked and uncircumcised. Allรขh I said,

 “ูƒَู…َุง ุจَุฏَุฃْู†َุง ุฃَูˆَّู„َ ุฎَู„ْู‚ٍ ู†ُุนِูŠุฏُู‡ُ ูˆَุนْุฏًุง ุนَู„َูŠْู†َุง ุฅِู†َّุง ูƒُู†َّุง ูَุงุนِู„ِูŠู†َ” 

- meaning – {As We produced the first Creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it}. Furthermore, Resurrection is a truth confirmed by the Scriptures of the Noble Book of Allรขh and the Honorable Sunnah of His Messenger and the Consensus (of Muslim Legal Scholars). Allรขh I said,

 “ุซُู…َّ ุฅِู†َّูƒُู…ْ ุจَุนْุฏَ ุฐَู„ِูƒَ ู„َู…َูŠِّุชُูˆู†َ. ุซُู…َّ ุฅِู†َّูƒُู…ْ ูŠَูˆْู…َ ุงู„ْู‚ِูŠَุงู…َุฉِ ุชُุจْุนَุซُูˆู†َ” 

- meaning – {After that, at length you will die. Again, on the Day of Judgment, will you be raised up}, and the Prophet has said,

 “ูŠุญุดุฑ ุงู„ู†ุงุณ ูŠูˆู… ุงู„ู‚ูŠุงู…ุฉ ุญูุงุฉ ุนุฑุงุฉ ุบุฑู„ุง

 - meaning – “The people would be assembled on the Day of Resurrection barefooted, naked and uncircumcised”. And, in fact, it is the mere commensurate aspect of Wisdom, which necessitates that Allรขh should make a Day of Return to repay them for what they have done. Allรขh I said,

 “ุฃَูَุญَุณِุจْุชُู…ْ ุฃَู†َّู…َุง ุฎَู„َู‚ْู†َุงูƒُู…ْ ุนَุจَุซًุง ูˆَุฃَู†َّูƒُู…ْ ุฅِู„َูŠْู†َุง ู„ุง ุชُุฑْุฌَุนُูˆู†َ

 - meaning – {Did you then think that We had created you in jest, and that you would not be brought back to Us (for account)?”} and He said to His Prophet:

 “ุฅِู†َّ ุงู„َّุฐِูŠ ูَุฑَุถَ ุนَู„َูŠْูƒَ ุงู„ْู‚ُุฑْุขู†َ ู„َุฑَุงุฏُّูƒَ ุฅِู„َู‰ ู…َุนَุงุฏٍ” 

- meaning – {Verily He Who ordained the Qur’รขn for you, will bring you, back to the Place of Return}.


Second: the belief in the Account and the Repay. This means that the slave (of Allรขh) will be accounted for his deeds and then he will be repaid for them, and this has been confirmed by the Book and the Sunnah and the Consensus of Muslim community, Allรขh I said, 

ุฅِู†َّ ุฅِู„َูŠْู†َุง ุฅِูŠَุงุจَู‡ُู…ْ. ุซُู…َّ ุฅِู†َّ ุนَู„َูŠْู†َุง ุญِุณَุงุจَู‡ُู…ْ” 

- meaning – {For to Us will be their Return; Then it will be for Us to call them to account}. And Ibn Omar narrated that the Prophet r said, 

ูŠُุฏْู†َู‰ ุงู„ْู…ُุคْู…ِู†ُ ูŠَูˆْู…َ ุงู„ْู‚ِูŠَุงู…َุฉِ ู…ِู†ْ ุฑَุจِّู‡ِ ุนَุฒَّ ูˆَุฌَู„َّ ุญَุชَّู‰ ูŠَุถَุนَ ุนَู„َูŠْู‡ِ ูƒَู†َูَู‡ُ ูَูŠُู‚َุฑِّุฑُู‡ُ ุจِุฐُู†ُูˆุจِู‡ِ ูَูŠَู‚ُูˆู„ُ ู‡َู„ْ ุชَุนْุฑِูُ ูَูŠَู‚ُูˆู„ُ ุฃَูŠْ ุฑَุจِّ ุฃَุนْุฑِูُ ู‚َุงู„َ ูَุฅِู†ِّูŠ ู‚َุฏْ ุณَุชَุฑْุชُู‡َุง ุนَู„َูŠْูƒَ ูِูŠ ุงู„ุฏُّู†ْูŠَุง ูˆَุฅِู†ِّูŠ ุฃَุบْูِุฑُู‡َุง ู„َูƒَ ุงู„ْูŠَูˆْู…َ ูَูŠُุนْุทَู‰ ุตَุญِูŠูَุฉَ ุญَุณَู†َุงุชِู‡ِ ูˆَุฃَู…َّุง ุงู„ْูƒُูَّุงุฑُ ูˆَุงู„ْู…ُู†َุงูِู‚ُูˆู†َ ูَูŠُู†َุงุฏَู‰ ุจِู‡ِู…ْ ุนَู„َู‰ ุฑُุกُูˆุณِ ุงู„ْุฎَู„ุงุฆِู‚ِ ู‡َุคُู„ุงุกِ ุงู„َّุฐِูŠู†َ ูƒَุฐَุจُูˆุง ุนَู„َู‰ ุงู„ู„َّู‡ِ” 

- meaning – “A believer will be brought to his Lord, the Exalted and Glorious, on the Day of Resurrection, and he would place upon him His veil, and make him confess his faults. Then, He would say, ‘Do you recognize (your faults)?’ He would reply, ‘My Lord, I do’. He (the Lord) would say, ‘I concealed them for you in the worldly life, and today I forgive them for you. And he would then be given the book containing (the account of his) good deeds’. So far as the non-believers and hypocrites are concerned, there would be general announcement about them before the entire creation saying, ‘These people told a lie about Allรขh’.” This is in addition to the Consensus of Muslim community about the approval of the Account and the Repay on the deeds and this is as we said before the mere commensurate aspect of Wisdom.


Third: the belief in the Paradise and the Hell and that both are the everlasting return of creation. For Paradise is the place of happiness which is prepared for the pious believers who truly believed in what Allรขh has decreed to believe, and to those who obeyed Allรขh and His Messenger, faithful to their Lord following His Prophet.

It is where all sorts of ease exist, and there exists what no eye has perceived and no ear has heard and no human mind has ever thought about. Allรขh I said, 

ุฅِู†َّ ุงู„َّุฐِูŠู†َ ุขู…َู†ُูˆุง ูˆَุนَู…ِู„ُูˆุง ุงู„ุตَّุงู„ِุญَุงุชِ ุฃُูˆْู„َุฆِูƒَ ู‡ُู…ْ ุฎَูŠْุฑُ ุงู„ْุจَุฑِูŠَّุฉِ. ุฌَุฒَุงุคُู‡ُู…ْ ุนِู†ْุฏَ ุฑَุจِّู‡ِู…ْ ุฌَู†َّุงุชُ ุนَุฏْู†ٍ ุชَุฌْุฑِูŠ ู…ِู†ْ ุชَุญْุชِู‡َุง ุงู„ุฃู†ْู‡َุงุฑُ ุฎَุงู„ِุฏِูŠู†َ ูِูŠู‡َุง ุฃَุจَุฏًุง ุฑَุถِูŠَ ุงู„ู„َّู‡ُ ุนَู†ْู‡ُู…ْ ูˆَุฑَุถُูˆุง ุนَู†ْู‡ُ ุฐَู„ِูƒَ ู„ِู…َู†ْ ุฎَุดِูŠَ ุฑَุจَّู‡ُ

 - meaning – {Those who have faith and do righteous deeds; They are the best of creatures. Their reward is with Allรขh: Paradises of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein forever; Allรขh well pleased with them, and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and Cherisher}. And He said, 

ูَู„ุง ุชَุนْู„َู…ُ ู†َูْุณٌ ู…َุง ุฃُุฎْูِูŠَ ู„َู‡ُู…ْ ู…ِู†ْ ู‚ُุฑَّุฉِ ุฃَุนْูŠُู†ٍ ุฌَุฒَุงุกً ุจِู…َุง ูƒَุงู†ُูˆุง ูŠَุนْู…َู„ُูˆู†َ” - meaning – {Now no person knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden (in reserve) for them, as a reward for their (good) Deeds}.

On the other hand, Hell is where torture exists, prepared for wrongdoers disbelievers, who disbelieved in Allรขh and disobeyed His Messengers. There exist all sorts of suffering and exemplary punishment, which would not cross anyone’s mind. Allรขh I said, 

ูˆَุงุชَّู‚ُูˆุง ุงู„ู†َّุงุฑَ ุงู„َّุชِูŠ ุฃُุนِุฏَّุชْ ู„ِู„ْูƒَุงูِุฑِูŠู†َ

 - meaning – {Fear the Fire, which is prepared for those who reject Faith}. And He said,

 “ุฅِู†َّุง ุฃَุนْุชَุฏْู†َุง ู„ِู„ุธَّุงู„ِู…ِูŠู†َ ู†َุงุฑًุง ุฃَุญَุงุทَ ุจِู‡ِู…ْ ุณُุฑَุงุฏِู‚ُู‡َุง ูˆَุฅِู†ْ ูŠَุณْุชَุบِูŠุซُูˆุง ูŠُุบَุงุซُูˆุง ุจِู…َุงุกٍ ูƒَุงู„ْู…ُู‡ْู„ِ ูŠَุดْูˆِูŠ ุงู„ْูˆُุฌُูˆู‡َ ุจِุฆْุณَ ุงู„ุดَّุฑَุงุจُ ูˆَุณَุงุกَุชْ ู…ُุฑْุชَูَู‚ًุง” 

- meaning – {We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the wall and roof of a tent, will hem them in. If they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces. How dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on!}.

 

The Belief in the Last Day brings forth to the believer so many significant benefits, like:

First: prompting the desire to obey and the care for them looking forward to being rewarded on that Day.

Second: prompting the awe from disobeying or accepting disobeying fearing the punishment of that Day.

Third: the consolation of the believer in what he does not get in this world in return of what he hopes to get in the Thereafter.


The Resurrection is proved by three ways:

1.  Divine Legislation.

2.  Common sense.

3.  Reason (human mind).


Despite this fact, disbelievers have denied the Resurrection after death claiming that it is inconceivable; however, this is obsolete and its desuetude is proved by Divine Legislation, common sense, and reason.

Concerning the Divine Legislation, Allรขh I said, “ุฒَุนَู…َ ุงู„َّุฐِูŠู†َ ูƒَูَุฑُูˆุง ุฃَู†ْ ู„َู†ْ ูŠُุจْุนَุซُูˆุง ู‚ُู„ْ ุจَู„َู‰ ูˆَุฑَุจِّูŠ ู„َุชُุจْุนَุซُู†َّ ุซُู…َّ ู„َุชُู†َุจَّุคُู†َّ ุจِู…َุง ุนَู…ِู„ْุชُู…ْ ูˆَุฐَู„ِูƒَ ุนَู„َู‰ ุงู„ู„َّู‡ِ ูŠَุณِูŠุฑٌ” - meaning – {The Unbelievers claimed that they will not be raised up (for Judgment). Say (O Muhammad r): "Yea, by my Lord, you shall surely be raised up: then shall you be told (the truth) of all that you did. And that is easy for Allรขh."}, and all Holly Books have agreed upon this aspect.

Concerning the common sense, Allรขh has shown His slaves examples about the raising of the dead, five of them are mentioned in Surat Al-Bakarah (The Cow), they are:

First example: the people of Musa (Moses) asked their Prophet to show them Allรขh plainly, for this reason, Allรขh made them dead then He gave them life, as He said, “ูˆَุฅِุฐْ ู‚ُู„ْุชُู…ْ ูŠَุงู…ُูˆุณَู‰ ู„َู†ْ ู†ُุคْู…ِู†َ ู„َูƒَ ุญَุชَّู‰ ู†َุฑَู‰ ุงู„ู„َّู‡َ ุฌَู‡ْุฑَุฉً ูَุฃَุฎَุฐَุชْูƒُู…ْ ุงู„ุตَّุงุนِู‚َุฉُ ูˆَุฃَู†ْุชُู…ْ ุชَู†ุธُุฑُูˆู†َ. ุซُู…َّ ุจَุนَุซْู†َุงูƒُู…ْ ู…ِู†ْ ุจَุนْุฏِ ู…َูˆْุชِูƒُู…ْ ู„َุนَู„َّูƒُู…ْ ุชَุดْูƒُุฑُูˆู†َ” - meaning – {And remember when you said: "O Moses! We shall never believe in you until we see Allรขh manifestly," but you were dazed by thunder and lightning even as you looked on. Then We raised you up after your death; you had the chance to be grateful}.

Second example: the story of the murdered person whom the conflict in Bani Israel (The Children of Israel) was about. Al-Bakarah (The Cow):73.

Third example: the story of those who went forth from their homes in thousands, fearing death. Allรขh told them ‘die!’, and then He restored them to life.

Fourth example: the story of the one who passed by a dead town and regarded that it is unlikely to have this town alive again. Allรขh then took life from him hundred years and then gave it back to him.

Fifth example: the story of Ibrahim (Abraham) the Intimate when he asked Allรขh to show him how He gives life to the dead.

So, these are true seen examples, which shows the possibility of raising dead into life again. In addition to what we mentioned about the Signs (Miracles) of Isa (Jesus) when Allรขh gave him the ability to raise dead out of their graves, only after Allรขh’s permission.

 

Yet the proof of reason on the possibility of Resurrection is stated in

 two aspects:

First aspect: Allรขh has created the earth and heavens and all what is between them from the very beginning, and the One who could once start the creation can surely recreate it again. Allรขh I said, “ูˆَู‡ُูˆَ ุงู„َّุฐِูŠ ูŠَุจْุฏَุฃُ ุงู„ْุฎَู„ْู‚َ ุซُู…َّ ูŠُุนِูŠุฏُู‡ُ ูˆَู‡ُูˆَ ุฃَู‡ْูˆَู†ُ ุนَู„َูŠْู‡ِ” - meaning – {It is He Who begins (the process of) creation; then repeats it; and for Him it is most easy}.

Second aspect: we see the earth barren with no single green tree in it, but when Allรขh sends down water (rain) on it, it is stirred to life, and swells and puts forth every lovely kind of growth. The One Who could give life to this earth is for sure easily capable of giving raise to dead. Allรขh I said, “ูˆَู…ِู†ْ ุขูŠَุงุชِู‡ِ ุฃَู†َّูƒَ ุชَุฑَู‰ ุงู„ุฃุฑْุถَ ุฎَุงุดِุนَุฉً ูَุฅِุฐَุง ุฃَู†ุฒَู„ْู†َุง ุนَู„َูŠْู‡َุง ุงู„ْู…َุงุกَ ุงู‡ْุชَุฒَّุชْ ูˆَุฑَุจَุชْ ุฅِู†َّ ุงู„َّุฐِูŠ ุฃَุญْูŠَุงู‡َุง ู„َู…ُุญْูŠِูŠ ุงู„ْู…َูˆْุชَู‰ ุฅِู†َّู‡ُ ุนَู„َู‰ ูƒُู„ِّ ุดَูŠْุกٍ ู‚َุฏِูŠุฑٌ” - meaning – {And among His Signs in this: where you see the earth barren and desolate; but when We send down rain to it, it is stirred to life and yields increase. Truly, He Who gives life to the (dead) earth can surely give life to (men) who are dead. For He has power over all things}.

The 12th Dars (class):  

[5th pillar: The Belief in Last day - 
C- Grave's test].

Dated 6th of Safar 1446H๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ 

The Belief in what shall be after death follows the belief in the Last Day:

 

A.  The Fitnah (Trial) of the grave:

  It is asking the dead after burying him about his Lord, his Religion, and his Prophet. Yet there, Allรขh will keep firm with the word that stands firm those who believe, so he would say, ‘my Lord is Allรขh, my Religion is Islรขm, and my Prophet is Muhammad r’. Then Allรขh will cause to go astray wrongdoers, and the disbeliever would say, ‘Hah! Hah! I do not know’, and the hypocrite would say, ‘I do not know, I heard people say so and I said as they did’.

 

B.  The Torture of the grave and its Ease:

  Concerning the Torture of the grave, it would be the chance of wrongdoers (disbelievers or hypocrites). Allรขh I said,

ูˆَู…َู†ْ ุฃَุธْู„َู…ُ ู…ِู…َّู†ْ ุงูْุชَุฑَู‰ ุนَู„َู‰ ุงู„ู„َّู‡ِ ูƒَุฐِุจًุง ุฃَูˆْ ู‚َุงู„َ ุฃُูˆุญِูŠَ ุฅِู„َูŠَّ ูˆَู„َู…ْ ูŠُูˆุญَ ุฅِู„َูŠْู‡ِ ุดَูŠْุกٌ ูˆَู…َู†ْ ู‚َุงู„َ ุณَุฃُู†ุฒِู„ُ ู…ِุซْู„َ ู…َุง ุฃَู†ุฒَู„َ ุงู„ู„َّู‡ُ ูˆَู„َูˆْ ุชَุฑَู‰ ุฅِุฐْ ุงู„ุธَّุงู„ِู…ُูˆู†َ ูِูŠ ุบَู…َุฑَุงุชِ ุงู„ْู…َูˆْุชِ ูˆَุงู„ْู…َู„ุงุฆِูƒَุฉُ ุจَุงุณِุทُูˆ ุฃَูŠْุฏِูŠู‡ِู…ْ ุฃَุฎْุฑِุฌُูˆุง ุฃَู†ูُุณَูƒُู…ْ ุงู„ْูŠَูˆْู…َ ุชُุฌْุฒَูˆْู†َ ุนَุฐَุงุจَ ุงู„ْู‡ُูˆู†ِ ุจِู…َุง ูƒُู†ุชُู…ْ ุชَู‚ُูˆู„ُูˆู†َ ุนَู„َู‰ ุงู„ู„َّู‡ِ ุบَูŠْุฑَ ุงู„ْุญَู‚ِّ ูˆَูƒُู†ุชُู…ْ ุนَู†ْ ุขูŠَุงุชِู‡ِ ุชَุณْุชَูƒْุจِุฑُูˆู†َ.

 - meaning - {Who can be more wicked than one who invented a lie against Allรขh, or said: "I have received inspiration," when he had received none, or (again) who said, "I can reveal the like of what Allรขh has revealed?" If you could but see how the wicked (do fare) in the flood of confusion at death! The angels stretch forth their hands, (saying), "Yield up your souls: this day shall you receive your reward, a penalty of shame, for that you used to tell lies against Allรขh, and scornfully to reject of His Signs!"} And He said about the people of the Pharaoh: “ุงู„ู†َّุงุฑُ ูŠُุนْุฑَุถُูˆู†َ ุนَู„َูŠْู‡َุง ุบُุฏُูˆًّุง ูˆَุนَุดِูŠًّุง ูˆَูŠَูˆْู…َ ุชَู‚ُูˆู…ُ ุงู„ุณَّุงุนَุฉُ ุฃَุฏْุฎِู„ُูˆุง ุขู„َ ูِุฑْุนَูˆْู†َ ุฃَุดَุฏَّ ุงู„ْุนَุฐَุงุจِ” - meaning – {In front of the Fire will they be brought, morning and evening: and (the Sentence will be) on the Day that Judgment will be established: "Cast you the People of Pharaoh into the severest Punishment!"}. And the Prophet r said, “ุชุนูˆุฐูˆุง ุจุงู„ู„ู‡ ู…ู† ุนุฐุงุจ ุงู„ู‚ุจุฑ” - meaning – “Seek the Protection of Allรขh from the grave torture”.

     Yet concerning the Ease of the Grave, it is the chance of the honest believers, Allรขh I said, “ุฅِู†َّ ุงู„َّุฐِูŠู†َ ู‚َุงู„ُูˆุง ุฑَุจُّู†َุง ุงู„ู„َّู‡ُ ุซُู…َّ ุงุณْุชَู‚َุงู…ُูˆุง ุชَุชَู†َุฒَّู„ُ ุนَู„َูŠْู‡ِู…ْ ุงู„ْู…َู„ุงุฆِูƒَุฉُ ุฃَู„ุง ุชَุฎَุงูُูˆุง ูˆَู„ุง ุชَุญْุฒَู†ُูˆุง ูˆَุฃَุจْุดِุฑُูˆุง ุจِุงู„ْุฌَู†َّุฉِ ุงู„َّุชِูŠ ูƒُู†ْุชُู…ْ ุชُูˆุนَุฏُูˆู†َ” - meaning – {In the case of those who say, "Our Lord is Allรขh," and, further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear you not!" (they suggest), "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Paradise (of Bliss), that which you were promised!}. Moreover, Al-Bara’ bin ‘Azeb narrated that the Prophet said about the believer who will answer the questions of the two Angels in his grave, “ูŠู†ุงุฏูŠ ู…ู†ุงุฏٍ ู…ู† ุงู„ุณู…ุงุก” - meaning – “..then a crier will call from Heaven, ‘My servant has spoken the truth, so spread a bed for him from Paradise, clothe him from Paradise, and open a door for him into Paradise’. So some of its air and perfume will come to him, and a space will be made for him as far as the eye can see.

However, people of distortion went astray in this aspect, so they denied the torture of the grave and its Ease claiming that this is inconceivable because it contradicts with reality. They said that if we dug a grave, we would have found it as it was and not changed, neither wider nor narrower.

As a matter of fact, this claim is obsolete by all considerable means: Legislation, common sense, and reason.

As for Legislation, we have mentioned before Scriptures proving the torture and ease of the grave. Al-Bukhari reported that Ibn Abbass said, ‘once the Prophet went out of the Madinah fences, and suddenly he heard a voice of two suffering persons in their graves’. Then he went on saying, ‘he said, “ุฃู…ุง ุฃุญุฏู‡ู…ุง ูƒุงู† ู„ุง ูŠุณุชุชุฑ ู…ู† ุงู„ุจูˆู„” - meaning - “One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine and the other one used to go about with calumnies”.’

As to common sense, a sleeping person dreams that he is in a vast place happy in it, or dreams that he is in a confined desolate place suffering in it. Then, he will wake up finding himself in bed nothing changed with his body or surroundings. Moreover, sleeping is the brother of death, this is why Allรขh called it dying, Allรขh I said, “ุงู„ู„َّู‡ُ ูŠَุชَูˆَูَّู‰ ุงู„ุฃู†ْูُุณَ ุญِูŠู†َ ู…َูˆْุชِู‡َุง ูˆَุงู„َّุชِูŠ ู„َู…ْ ุชَู…ُุชْ ูِูŠ ู…َู†َุงู…ِู‡َุง ูَูŠُู…ْุณِูƒُ ุงู„َّุชِูŠ ู‚َุถَู‰ ุนَู„َูŠْู‡َุง ุงู„ْู…َูˆْุชَ ูˆَูŠُุฑْุณِู„ُ ุงู„ุฃุฎْุฑَู‰ ุฅِู„َู‰ ุฃَุฌَู„ٍ ู…ُุณَู…ًّู‰” - meaning – {It is Allรขh that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep. Those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed}.

As to reason, the sleeping person dreams about something, which exactly agrees with the reality. And perhaps he dreams about the Prophet as he is and whoever dreams about the Prophet as he was, then he has seen him really. In spite of this, that sleeping person is lying down in his bed far away from he has seen. So if this were believable in these normal phenomena of this world, would not it be quite possible in the Thereafter incidents.
