Some Causes of the Torment of the Grave
One Hadith mentions that:
اَلنَّظَافَۃُ تَدْعُو اِلَی الْاِیْمَانِ
Cleanliness calls towards faith.
The Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said:
بُنِیَ الدِّیْنُ عَلَی النَّظَافَۃِ
“The foundation of religion is upon cleanliness.”[1]
May Allah Almighty grant us the ability to keep ourselves clean and pure.
اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
The Burden of Praying Without Wudu
Sayyidunā ꜤAmr b. Shurayḥbīl رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه narrates:
A person passed away, and the people thought he was a pious man. But when he reached his grave, the angels said: “We will hit you with 100 lashes of torment.”
He asked, “Why will you hit me? Was I not a pious person?”
They said, “Okay, we will strike you with 50 lashes.” He again asked if he was not a pious man. This conversation continued until they agreed on one lash. As soon as they hit him with that one lash, the grave filled with fire and the dead person was burnt to ashes. Then he was returned to his original state.
He asked, “Why did you hit me with this lash?” The angels replied: “You offered one prayer (Salah) without wudu, and one day an oppressed person asked you for help, but you did not help him (despite having the power).”[2]
