Section on the questioning in the grave, who is questioned and who is not questioned
4713 - 1 - أبو علي الأشعري، عن محمد بن عبد الجبار، عن الحجال، عن ثعلبة، عن أبي بكر الحضرمي قال: قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): لا يسأل في القبر إلا من محض الايمان محضا أو محض الكفر محضا والآخرون يلهون عنهم (3).
(3) " محض الايمان " على صيغة الفعل أي أخلص الايمان ويحتمل أن يكون بصيغة المصدر أي لا يسأل الا من الايمان والكفر ولعل الأول أظهر بقرينة الخبر الآتي تحت رقم 8 و 15
كلمة" من" بالفتح اسم موصول و (محض) على صيغة الفعل أي لا يسأل في القبر إلا المؤمن الخالص و الكافر الخالص، و أما المستضعفون المتوسطون بينهما فلا ثواب لهم في البرزخ و لا عقاب إلى أن يحشروا، و ربما يقرأ من: بالكسر و محض: بصيغة المصدر، أي لا يسأل في القبر إلا عن العقائد و أما الأعمال فلا سؤال عنها فيه، و الأول أظهر و كذا فهمه الأصحاب كالمفيد (قدس سره) و غيره و سيأتي ما يؤيده بل يعينه
و اللهو
(3) ليس على المعنى الحقيقي بل هو كناية عن عدم
التعرض لهم بثواب أو عقاب أو سؤال و ما سوى ذلك لعله يشمل المستضعفين من المؤمنين

Fusul al Muhimmah by Shaikh Hurr al Amili, Volume 1 Page 323
إن كل من محض الإيمان أو الكفر يسأل في القبر فينعم أو يعذب ساعة والباقون لا يسألون إلى يوم القيامة
(Shaikh Hurr al Amili says) Indeed all the extremely pure believers and the complete out and out kuffar would be questioned in the grave, and rewarded or punished (accordingly) at the moment, and the rest would not be questioned till qiyahamah
Are you sure about this, maybe there is a different interpretation for these ahadith?? Because questioning of the grave is an accepted and agreed belief among all muslims, not just the shias. This is basic knowledge and believing in the hereafter, life in the grave as well as after qiyamah are fundamentals of deen. Quran also mentions Alam e Barzakh. I suggest you ask a knowledgeable shaykh please before posting wrong stuff. I've NEVER heard any shia, whether an Alim or a layman, deny questioning of the grave
ReplyDeleteBecause what you posted says that only the very pure believers and kuffar would be questioned, whereas obviously the majority of people are not like that, they are somewhere in between. They are ordinary believers and kafirs. So that means now that the vast majority of people would not be questioned in grave??? Please recheck.
All of the hadeeth mentioned in this blog post are Weak, except for these two:

Both gradings are correct, as for the rest, they are highly wrong.
Thanks brother Nader Zaveri, that was quick.
ReplyDeleteSo the gradings were wrong! But I am still very confused because you said 2 of the hadith (out of the 6) are authentic and were graded correctly, and they also say same thing that ordinary people won't be questioned in grave. Could you please double check the gradings of those 2 hadith also again please, maybe they are still also weak?
Or is there a different interpretation?? What do our scholars, the real scholars, say about this? Some one please help.
as salaamu alaykum,
ReplyDeleteI had made a thread asking a question relating to this, can we take not being questioned with not being generally aware of what's going on, following the view of shaykh al-Mufeed?
http://www.shiachat.com/forum/index.php?/topic/235004052-what-happens-after-death/
If there is no questioning in the grave for ordinary people i.e. the vast majority, then why do we say talqeen to the dead person when burying him? Why is it done for EVERY dead person.
ReplyDeleteThis post is definitely wrong, it flies in the face of basic facts.
This was also mentioned by Shaykh Mufid in his Tashih al-I`tiqad. Remember that we have ayat in al-Qur'an where in al-Qiyamah, a lot of people are surprised and confused when they are resurrected because they feel like they are like being woken up after sleeping. The Sunni position that everyone will be questioned in the grave directly contradicts those ayat, while the Shi`i position is perfectly aligned with those.
ReplyDeleteSalam aleikum
ReplyDeleteI am wondering at the replies of some of our people here.
The brother never stated his own opinion or claimed anything, except for posting Ahadith from our Mawala as-Sadiq and his father (as).
I wonder what kind of Shias you are? Where is your Itaat AhlulBayt (as)?
Instead you provide answers like "This cannot be", "Its basic simple knowledge"...Now please tell me where you have this knowledge from? Maybe all the years of your reading from sources of 'Amme and listening to Masjid Sheikhs misled you afterall? And now the brother here has done an excellent job of letting us know the opinion of Ale Muhammad (as) and instead of falling into amazement as to how ignorant one has been about this issue (and i am including myself) and thanking Allah (swt) that he luminated us with knowledge of AhlulBayt (as) so we can have the correct Aqidah about Questioning in the Grave, look at the answers you are giving and ask yourself before your are being asked.
As to the answer of Brother Nader it is obvious that all of the Ahadith are correct in matn and a many scholars (some of which brother Bhooka has listed here) are of this opinion. Even of some are weak sanadan if you adhere strictly to Ilm al Rijal, it doesnt disprove their content.
So the content is very much correct and some scholar heavyweights have relied on these Ahadith as it turns out
Wasalam
^Wa 'alaykum as salaam,
ReplyDeleteMashaa'allaah, what a beautiful post.
Why has bhooka runaway? Why is he not answering any of the questions? Did he post this just to create fitnah and troll us shias?
ReplyDeleteSalam aleikum
ReplyDeleteHe posted this to let us know the truth, which he did.
Anyone having questions (not answers against ahadith of ahlulbayt as) can raise them forward and I am sure he will answer.
But to answer objections like "This cannot be" etc is a waste of time when we have CLEAR Ahadith on the issue
Wasalam
Why doesn't he answer Nader, about the gradings? Why did bhooka lie about the gradings? It's obvious that he doesn't answer because he doesn't have an answer.
DeleteIts because there is no need to answer, as it was already prooven that the content of all the Ahadith is correct. Even two of those Ahadith are correct by Brother Naders standard.
DeleteAll of the Ahadith above are correct as per the scholars Brother Bhooka posted, either directly or indirectly.
Sheikh Kulayni (ra) also approves of the content of those Ahadith. He even named a whole chapter after it. If you had really read the post instead of trying so hard to not believe it you would have noticed.
Its your turn now to DISPROOVE the content (that there will be only questioning in the grave for the real kuffar and the real mumin) WITH OTHER AHADITH (!). Why dont you try instead of attacking Brother Bhooka who just posted Ahadith and their (direct and indirect) gradings by scholars.
He didnt even say one word of his own...
Wasalam
