The Handsome
Man |
When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral rites, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased. When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakeer (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 in privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, "He is my companion, he is 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 admitted into Paradise".
Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, "I am the
Qur'an, which you 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) a silk
bedding filled with musk.
Rasulullah (s) said, "On the Day of **Judgment, before Allah, no
other intercessor will have a greater status than the Qur'an,
neither a Prophet nor an angel.
