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)
