Fire in grave

Sayyiduna ‘Amr Bin Dinar رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: A sister of a person died in Madinah Munawwarah, so she was buried after funeral rites. When his brother reached home he recalled that he had forgotten the bag of dirhams in the grave. He went to the grave with a person, removed the earth of the grave and found the bag. He then said to the one who was with him: You just get a little away so that I can see the condition of my sister. He removed a brick and saw that the fire was blazing in the grave. He closed the grave and went to his mother and asked about his sister. The mother replied: Your sister used to offer Salah after the stipulated time of the Salah and I think she also sometimes offered Salah without Wudu. Further, she used to spy on the secrets of the neighbours outside their doors when they were resting.

(Mawsu’ah Ibn Abid Dunya, vol. 6, pp. 75, Hadees 97)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! Here listen to a ruling that from this admonitory parable it has been understood that it is a very grave sin to become lazy in offering Salah which may bring about torment in the grave. We should also offer all five-time Salahs with zeal and enthusiasm in the Masjid with Jama’at and should not become lazy at all in offering Salah because it is a sign of hypocrites. When hypocrites used to stand up for Salah before believers, they used to stand up uninterestingly and lazily because they had no faith in their heart through which they would get yearning and joy for worship. They used to worship only to show off people. In Ayah 142 of Surah An-Nisa, part 5 Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has stated about them:

وَ اِذَا قَامُوْۤا اِلَى الصَّلٰوةِ قَامُوْا كُسَالٰىۙ-

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: And when they stand up for prayer, they do it unwillingly.
