Six Mighty Wisdoms Behind Why
We Do Not Hear the Dead in Their Graves
Shaykh Ibn al-Uthaymeen
(rahimahullaah) said, in his explanation of Al-Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah 2/118-119:
And this is for (numerous)
mighty wisdoms, from them:
[1] What is indicated by the
Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) in his saying, “Were it not that you
would not have buried (your dead) I would have invoked Allaah to let you hear
(the cries) of the punishment of the grave.”
[2] Concealing it is a veil
(covering) for the deceased.
[3] That it does not cause the
deceased’s family to be disturbed.
[4] Not embarrassing (shaming)
of his family, since the people will say “This is your son”, “This is your father”,This
is your brother” and what is like this.
[5] That we may perish (as a
result) because it is not a light type of screaming, it is a screaming that
will cause our hearts to be plucked out , a person will die or may fall
unconscious (out of fear, terror).
[6] If the people heard the
cries of the deceased being punished, then faith in the punishment of the grave
would be reduced to faith through direct observation and not faith in the
unseen, and therefore the purposeful benefit of testing people would be lost,
because the people would obviously believe in what they witness. However, when
it is hidden from them and they do not know of it except through relayed
information (khabar), then it becomes from faith in the unseen.
May Allaah reward the brother
who sent me this benefit!
