Sunan an-Nasai 1475 (Book 16, Hadith 17) #16086
The Trial of Graves

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that people will be tested in their graves like the trial of the Dajjal and that Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) sought refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave.

It was narrated from Yahya bin Sa'eed that : 'Amrah told him that Aishah told her that a Jewish woman came to her and said: "May Allah protect you from the torment of the grave". Aishah said: "O Messenger of Allah, will people be tormented in the graves?" The Messenger of Allah sought refuge with Allah'.Aishah said: "The Prophet went out, and the sun became eclipsed. We went out to another room and the women gathered with us. The Messenger of Allah came to us and that was at the time of forenoon. He stood for a long time, then he bowed for a long time, then he raises his head and stood for a shorter time than the first one; then he bowed for a shorter time than the first one. Then he prostrated, then he stood up for the second (rak'ah) and did the same again, except that his bowing an prostrating were shorter than in the first rak'ah. Then he prostrated, and the eclipse had ended. When he had finished, he sat on the minbar and one of the things he said was: 'The people will be tried in their graves like the trial of the Dajjal'. Aishah siad: 'After that, we used to hear him seeking refuge with Allah (SWT) from the torment of the grave".
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً أَتَتْهَا فَقَالَتْ أَجَارَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيُعَذَّبُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَائِذًا بِاللَّهِ ‏‏.‏‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ خَرَجَ مَخْرَجًا فَخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْنَا نِسَاءٌ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَذَلِكَ ضَحْوَةً فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ دُونَ رُكُوعِهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّ رُكُوعَهُ وَقِيَامَهُ دُونَ الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَتَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ ‏‏ "‏‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ كَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ ‏‏"‏‏ ‏‏.‏‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that people will be tested in their graves like the trial of the Dajjal. It was narrated by Yahya bin Sa'eed and Aishah who said that a Jewish woman came to her and said "May Allah protect you from the torment of the grave". Aishah asked Prophet Muhammad about this and he sought refuge with Allah from it. Then when a solar eclipse occurred, Prophet Muhammad went out to pray for a long time then bowed for a long time before raising his head again. He then prostrated before standing up for another rak'ah but his bowing and prostrating were shorter than in his first rak'ah. After he finished praying, he sat on minbar where he said "The people will be tried in their graves like the trial of the Dajjal". From this hadith we learn that there is an unseen test awaiting us after death which is similar to what we experience during our lifetime such as trials or tribulations caused by evil forces such as those caused by Dajjal or Antichrist. We also learn that we should seek refuge with Allah from any harm or suffering even if it is something unseen such as torment in our graves after death.
