[7216] 70 - (2870) Anas bin Mālik said: "The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: 'When a person is placed in his grave and his companions turn to leave, he hears the sound of their footsteps. Then two angels come to him and sit him up, and say to him: 'What did you used to say about this man?' As for the believer, he says: 'I bear witness that he is the slave of Allāh, and His Messenger.' Then it is said to him: 'Look at your place in the Fire; Allāh has substituted it with a place in Paradise.'" The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: "He is shown them both." Qatâdah said: "It was said to us that his grave is expanded seventy cubits for him, and it is filled with greenery until the Day they will be resurrected."

70 - (2870) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ، إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ، وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ، إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ» قَالَ: " يَأْتِيهِ مَلَكَانِ فَيُقْعِدَانِهِ فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ: مَا كُنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الرَّجُلِ؟ " قَالَ: " فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُ، فَيَقُولُ: أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَرَسُولُهُ " قَالَ: " فَيُقَالُ لَهُ: انْظُرْ إِلَى مَقْعَدِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ، قَدْ أَبْدَلَكَ اللهُ بِهِ مَقْعَدًا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ " قَالَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «فَيَرَاهُمَا جَمِيعًا» قَالَ قَتَادَةُ: وَذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّهُ يُفْسَحُ لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعًا، وَيُمْلَأُ عَلَيْهِ خَضِرًا، إِلَى يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
