A Beautiful Hadith

Another forwarded email which reached my inbox and I do think it deserves to be published ..

Please be sure to read every word and every line. May the blessings of Allah SWT be upon you and your family.

Insya'Allah

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: 'When a man dies and hisrelatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between theshroud and the chest of the deceased.

When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar andNakeer(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man inprivacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, 'He is my companion, heis my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admittedinto Paradise '.

Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the Qur'an, whichyou used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief.

'When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: 'On the Day of Judgement,before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than theQur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said:'Pass on knowledge from me even if it is only one verse'.

May Allah bestow this favour on all of us.
