حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، - يَعْنُونَ ابْنَ مَهْدِيٍّ - عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، ‏{‏ يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الآخِرَةِ‏}‏ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ‏.‏

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #2871b in Sahih Muslim.

[Authenticity & Isnad]: Authentic (Sahih) by consensus of the scholars through its inclusion in the Sahihayn.

[Core Subject]: Death is the first stage of the hereafter. Between death and resurrection every soul is in al-barzakh, 'the barrier', and the grave is either a garden of Paradise or a pit of the Fire.

[Described Characteristics]: In the grave two angels ask three questions: Who is your Lord? What is your religion? Who is this man who was sent among you? The believer answers and his grave is widened and lit, and he is shown his place in Paradise. The one who doubted says 'I don't know, I heard people saying something so I said it', and is punished.

[Timeline & Context]: It begins for each person at their own death and lasts until the Trumpet.

[Prophetic Practice]: Seek refuge from the punishment of the grave in every prayer, and remember death often: 'the destroyer of pleasures'.
