the friend of Allah safe, hence it leaves the grave. At that time, forbearance says to all the deeds: I did not say anything, because if you all had failed I would have spoken. Now I would help him on the Bridge of Siraat and the Meezan. (Al-Mawsu’ah li Ibn Abid Dunya, vol. 5, pp. 472, Hadees 254)

Sayyiduna ‘Umar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated Marfu’an (a Hadees that is directly heard from the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم) that: Whosoever illuminates the Masjid of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will illuminate his grave; and whosoever keeps fragrance in it, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will provide fragrance in Paradise for him. (Sharh-us-Sudoor, pp. 159)

8. Visiting a patient

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddeeq رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ has narrated that the Greatest and Holiest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: Sayyiduna Musa (عَـلٰى نَبِـيِّنَا وَعَـلَيْهِ الصَّلٰوةُ وَالسَّلَام) humbly asked Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ: What is the reward for the one who visits one who is ill? Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ said: Two angels will be appointed for him, they (these two angels) will continue visiting him in his grave until the Day of Judgement. (Sharh-us-Sudoor, pp. 159)

9. Reward for reciting Surah Al-Mulk

Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin Mas’ood رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَنْهُ has stated: When a person goes into his grave, torment comes towards him from the direction of his feet. His feet will say, ‘There is no path for you from my side because this person used to recite Surah Al-Mulk at night.’ Then the torment will come towards him from the direction of his chest or stomach. His chest or stomach will say, ‘There is no path for you from my side because this person used to recite Surah Al-Mulk at night.’ Then the torment will come towards him from the direction of his head. The head will then say, ‘There is no path for you to come from my side because this person used to recite Surah Al-Mulk at night.’
