We went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) accompanying the bier of a man of the Ansar. When we reached his grave, it was not yet dug. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat down and we also sat down around him as if birds were over our heads. He had in his hand a stick with which he was scratching the ground.
He then raised his head and said: Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment in the grave. He said it twice or thrice.
The version of Jabir adds here: He hears the beat of their sandals when they go back, and at that moment he is asked: O so and so! Who is your Lord, what is your religion, and who is your Prophet?
Hannad's version says: Two angels will come to him, make him sit up and ask him: Who is your Lord?
He will reply: My Lord is Allah. They will ask him: What is your religion? He will reply: My religion is Islam. They will ask him: What is your opinion about the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: He is the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). They will ask: Who made you aware of this? He will reply: I read Allah's Book, believed in it, and considered it true; which is verified by Allah's words: "Allah's Book, believed in it, and considered it true, which is verified by Allah's words: "Allah establishes those who believe with the word that stands firm in this world and the next."
The agreed version reads: 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.
He also mentioned the death of the infidel, saying: His spirit will be restored to his body, two angels will come to him, make him sit up and ask him: Who is your Lord?
He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask him: What is your religion? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. They will ask: Who was the man who was sent on a mission among you? He will reply: Alas, alas! I do not know. Then a crier will call from Heaven: He has lied, so spread a bed for him from Hell, clothe him from Hell, and open for him a door into Hell. Then some of its heat and pestilential wind will come to him, and his grave will be compressed, so that his ribs will be crushed together.
Jabir's version adds: One who is blind and dumb will then be placed in charge of him, having a sledge-hammer such that if a mountain were struck with it, it would become dust. He will give him a blow with it which will be heard by everything between the east and the west except by men and jinn, and he will become dust. Then his spirit will be restored to him.
Sunan Abi Dawud Book 42, Hadith 158
“Every child
who
is attributed to his father after his father to whom he is
attributed
has died, and his heirs attributed him to him after he
died, he ruled
that* whoever was born to a slave woman whom he owned
at the time when
he had intercourse with her, he should be named
after the one to whom
he was attributed, but he has no share of any
inheritance that was
distributed previously. Whatever inheritance he
finds has not yet been
distributed, he will have a share of it. But
he cannot be named after
his father if the man whom he claimed as his
father did not
acknowledge him. If he as born to a slave woman whom
his father did
not own, or to a free woman with whom he committed
adultery, then he
cannot be named after him and he does not inherit
from him, even if
the one whom he claims as his father acknowledges
him. So he is an
illegitimate child who belongs to his mother’s
people, whoever they
are, whether she is a free woman or a slave.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 23, Hadith 28
'Amir bin Shurahbil Ash-Sha'bi narrated that he heard Fatimah bint Qais--who was one of the first Muhajir women-- say: 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Awf proposed marriage to me, along with others of the Companions of Muhammad. And the Messenger of Allah proposed that I marry his freed slave, Usamah bin Zaid. I was told that the Messenger of Allah had said: 'Whoever loves me, let him love Usamah.' When the Messenger of Allah spoke to me I said: 'My affairs are in your hands; marry me to whomever you wish.' He said: 'Go to Umm Sharik.' Umm Sharik was a rich Ansari woman who used to spend a great deal in the cause of Allah, and she always had a lot of guests. I said: 'I will do that.' He said: 'Do not do that, for Umm Sharik has a lot of guests, and I would not like your Khimar to fall off, or your shins to become uncovered, and the people to see something of you that you do not want them to see. Rather go to your cousin (son of your paternal uncle) 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Umm Maktum, who is a man of Banu Fihr.' So I went to him."
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 26, Hadith 42
Abu Bakr sent for me owing to the large number of casualties in the battle of Al-Yamama, while
`Umar was sitting with him. Abu Bakr said (to me), `Umar has come to my and said, 'A great number
of Qaris of the Holy Quran were killed on the day of the battle of Al-Yamama, and I am afraid that
the casualties among the Qaris of the Quran may increase on other battle-fields whereby a large part
of the Quran may be lost. Therefore I consider it advisable that you (Abu Bakr) should have the
Quran collected.' I said, 'How dare I do something which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not do?' `Umar said, By
Allah, it is something beneficial.' `Umar kept on pressing me for that till Allah opened my chest for
that for which He had opened the chest of `Umar and I had in that matter, the same opinion as `Umar
had." Abu Bakr then said to me (Zaid), "You are a wise young man and we do not have any suspicion
about you, and you used to write the Divine Inspiration for Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). So you should search for
the fragmentary scripts of the Quran and collect it (in one Book)." Zaid further said: By Allah, if Abu
Bakr had ordered me to shift a mountain among the mountains from one place to another it would not
have been heavier for me than this ordering me to collect the Quran. Then I said (to `Umar and Abu
Bakr), "How can you do something which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not do?" Abu Bakr said, "By Allah, it is
something beneficial." Zaid added: So he (Abu Bakr) kept on pressing me for that until Allah opened
my chest for that for which He had opened the chests of Abu Bakr and `Umar, and I had in that
matter, the same opinion as theirs.
So I started compiling the Quran by collecting it from the leafless stalks of the date-palm tree and
from the pieces of leather and hides and from the stones, and from the chests of men (who had
memorized the Quran). I found the last verses of Sirat-at-Tauba: ("Verily there has come unto you an
Apostle (Muhammad) from amongst yourselves--' (9.128-129) ) from Khuza`ima or Abi Khuza`ima
and I added to it the rest of the Sura. The manuscripts of the Quran remained with Abu Bakr till Allah
took him unto Him. Then it remained with `Umar till Allah took him unto Him, and then with Hafsa
bint `Umar.
