1047. Aws bin Aws reported that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Of your best days is Friday. On it, Ādam was created; and on it his (soul) was taken; and on it is the blowing (of the Trumpet); and on it is the Swoon.[1] Therefore, increase in sending your Salāt upon me, for your Salāt upon me are presented to me." They said: "O Messenger of Allāh! And how will our Salāt upon you be presented to you after you have perished?" He replied: "Indeed, Allāh, the Mighty and Sublime, has prohibited the earth from (destroying) the bodies of the Prophets." (Da'if)

Commentary
This is a special kind of life, a peculiar state of existence after death, the details of which we know not beyond revelation. Barzakh, an Arabic word, refers to the barrier between this life and the Hereafter. This life of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, as mentioned in the Hādīth, relates to the realm of Barzakh. We do not know its quality, characteristics, and other details. We only believe in it, without going into its details.
