حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ الْمَاجِشُونَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُنْكَدِرِ قَالَ كَانَتْ أَسْمَاءُ تُحَدِّثُ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ قَالَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْإِنْسَانُ قَبْرَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا أَحَفَّ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ الصَّلَاةُ وَالصِّيَامُ قَالَ فَيَأْتِيهِ الْمَلَكُ مِنْ نَحْوِ الصَّلَاةِ فَتَرُدُّهُ وَمِنْ نَحْوِ الصِّيَامِ فَيَرُدُّهُ قَالَ فَيُنَادِيهِ اجْلِسْ قَالَ فَيَجْلِسُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ مَاذَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ يَقُولُ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ أَدْرَكْتَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ يَقُولُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِشْتَ وَعَلَيْهِ مِتَّ وَعَلَيْهِ تُبْعَثُ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَ فَاجِرًا أَوْ كَافِرًا قَالَ جَاءَ الْمَلَكُ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ شَيْءٌ يَرُدُّهُ قَالَ فَأَجْلَسَهُ قَالَ يَقُولُ اجْلِسْ مَاذَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ قَالَ أَيُّ رَجُلٍ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ يَقُولُ وَاللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي سَمِعْتُ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ شَيْئًا فَقُلْتُهُ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عِشْتَ وَعَلَيْهِ مِتَّ وَعَلَيْهِ تُبْعَثُ قَالَ وَتُسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِ دَابَّةٌ فِي قَبْرِهِ مَعَهَا سَوْطٌ تَمْرَتُهُ جَمْرَةٌ مِثْلُ غَرْبِ الْبَعِيرِ تَضْرِبُهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ صَمَّاءُ لَا تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ فَتَرْحَمَهُ

Narrated to us [Hujain bin Mutsanna] said, Narrated to us [Abdul 'Aziz] - namely Ibn Abu Salamah Al Majisyun - from [Muhammad] - namely Ibn Munkadir - he said, "[Asma'] said from the Prophet Peace be upon him, he said: "If someone enters his grave, if he is a believer then his practice of prayer and fasting will surround him, an angel will come to him from side of his prayer then he (the practice of prayer) rejected it, and from the side of his fast, he also rejected it." He said: "Then he (an angel) called to him, 'Sit down'." He continued: "So he sat down, then it was said to him, 'What do you know about this person, namely the Prophet Peace be upon him? ' the person asked back, "Who?" The angel answered, "Muhammad." The person answered, "I testify that he is the Messenger of Allah Peace be upon him'." He continued: "He said, 'what you know then you already know, I testify that he is the Messenger of Allah'." He continued: "He said 'on this you live, die and are raised again'." He said: "As for those who commit sins or are disbelievers, then angels come to him, while between him and the angels there is no one to defend him." He continued: "Then the angel sat him down and said, "What do you say about this man (Muhammad)?" He answered, "Which person?" The angel answered, "Muhammad." He then said, "By Allah I don't know, people say something and then I follow it." He said: "Then the angel said to him that's why you live, die and then be raised again." He said: "Then he put in the grave an animal carrying a whip with one end embers of fire like a swollen bull's eye, he struck him as Allah commanded with a blow that no one could hear the sound of because of His mercy.
