The graves appear to be dust, but in reality they are either a garden of paradise, or a pit of fire. What is the state of mourners for the dead to those graves? Imam al-Ghazali, may God have mercy on him, says: “Know that funerals are a lesson for the insightful, and they contain a warning and a reminder.” Usayd bin Hudair said: I did not witness a funeral and myself spoke to me of anything other than what is the object of it, and what is happening to it. To everyone's grief.

Such was their fear at death, and now we do not look at a group attending a funeral except that most of them laugh and have fun, and not one of them thinks except what God wills about his own funeral and in his condition if he is burdened with it. And the horrors that are in our hands, so we became distracted, negligent, and preoccupied with what does not concern us, so we ask God Almighty to be vigilant from this negligence, because the best conditions for those present at funerals. Their weeping over the dead, and if they reasoned, they would weep for themselves, not for the dead.” .. How many sermons and lessons are in the graves, if hearts were alive...

❇️ Some quotes from the book "Tombs" by Ibn Abi al-Dunya ❇️

- Malik bin Dinar said: I and Zain al-Qura’a Hassan bin Abi Hassan went out to visit the cemeteries, and when he looked over them, a lesson preceded him, then he came to me and said, “O Malik, these are the soldiers of the dead. He waits for those who are alive, then he shouts at them, and they are standing looking.” So Malik put his hand on his head and made He cries and says Way Azan Rose Way Azan Rose means woe from that day woe from that day.

- On the authority of Sujaf bin Manzoor, he said, “I witnessed Abdulaziz bin Salman at a funeral, and when the dead person was carried from the bed to be placed in his grave, he called out, and then he called out loudly, O Lieutenant Colonel, brothers, I wish I could feel what you respond to, then he fell unconscious.

- On the authority of Al-Abbas bin Yazid Al-Basri, he said: I said to Sufyan bin Uyaynah, why was it desirable to lower the voice at funerals?

- A man dug a grave and sat down to take shade from the sun, then a cold wind came and hit his back, so he looked, and if a small hole he expanded it with his finger, then if a grave was looking at it as far as the eye could see, and if a crooked old man, as if the brushes had lifted their hands from him, and there was nothing left of his shrouds on his chest.

On the authority of Qatari al-Khashab, he said: We witnessed a funeral in which al-Sha’bi was present and the people of Kufa were in charge. When the dead man was buried, al-Sha’bi said, “This death is the goal of the servants in the abode of the world.” His words made the people weep.

- On the authority of Dawood bin Al-Muhbar, he said: I heard Salih Al-Marri say, “I realized in Basra young and old men attending funerals, returning from it as if they had been raised from their graves, and God knows the increase in them after that.”

On the authority of Salman bin Salih, he said: Al-Hassan lost one day, and when evening came, his companions said to him, “Where were you today?” He said: “I was with my brothers. If I forget, they remind me of me.

- On the authority of Yazid bin Shuraih, that he heard a voice from the grave. If you see people like us today, we were like you, and we were peers in life, like you, for that desert winds its winds, and we are in a cabin that does not reach you.
