The Condition of the Saints After Death

Hazrat Sulaiemaan Bin Yasaar Al-Hazrami (Allaah have mercy on him) narrates that one day some riders were passing through a graveyard so suddenly they heard some speaker say from the grave:

O riders, move before this, that you would not be able to walk,

This home is Haqq [Truth] in which you have to also return like us

How many blessed ones were in rewards, but the misfortunes of

time have by force seized all those blessings from them

And in the end they are in torment, how bad is this end, sometimes, we

were also like you

But the catastrophes of time has changed us and

soon you will also be like us

(Sharhus Sudoor, pg. 91)
