أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَنْقَزِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ إِدْرِيسَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «هَذَا الَّذِي تَحَرَّكَ لَهُ الْعَرْشُ وَفُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ وَشَهِدَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَقَدْ ضُمَّ ضَمَّةً ثُمَّ فُرِّجَ عَنْهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Thos is the one at whose death the Throne shook, the gates of heaven were opened of him and seventy thousand angles attended his funeral. It squeezed him once then released him.

ইসহাক ইবনু ইবরাহীম (রহঃ) ... ইবনু উমর (রাঃ) সুত্রে রাসুলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, সেই ব্যক্তি যার জন্য আরশ কেঁপে উঠেছিল এবং যার জন্য আকাশের দ্বারসমুহ খূলে গিয়েছিল এবং যার জানাযার সত্তর হাজার ফিরিশতা উপস্থিত হয়েছিল তার কবরও সংকীর্ণ হয়ে গিয়েছিল। অতঃপর তা প্রশস্ত হয়ে গিয়েছিল।

عبداللہ بن عمر رضی الله عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: ”یہی وہ شخص ہے جس کے لیے عرش الٰہی ہل گیا، آسمان کے دروازے کھول دئیے گئے، اور ستر ہزار فرشتے اس کے جنازے میں شریک ہوئے، ( پھر بھی قبر میں ) اسے ایک بار بھینچا گیا، پھر ( یہ عذاب ) اس سے جاتا رہا“ ۱؎۔

Telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ishaq bin Ibrahim] dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Amru bin Muhammad Al 'Anqazi] dia berkata; telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Idris] dari ['Ubaidullah] dari [Nafi'] dari [Ibnu 'Umar] dari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam beliau bersabda: "Inilah orang yang karenanya arsy bergerak, pintu-pintu langit dibuka dan tujuh puluh ribu malaikat menyaksikannya. Sungguh ia telah di himpit dengan sekali himpitan kemudian dilepaskan

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) praised in this Hadīth the venerated Companion Sa‘d ibn Mu‘ādh (may Allah be pleased with him). The Throne of the Most Merciful was shaken out of pleasure for Sa‘d's advent to heaven. The gates of heaven were opened for him in order for Allah's mercy to descend and the angels to go down.

They were opened to adorn themselves in reception of his soul, because the destination of the believers' souls is Paradise above the seventh heaven. Another virtue of this Companion is that his funeral was attended by seventy thousand angels as a way of showing great veneration to him. Yet, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned that in spite of those great virtues and prestigious status of Sa‘d ibn Mu‘ādh, the grave squeezed him, but then Allah released him.

Thus, no one will ever escape the squeeze of the grave. If anyone were to escape it, Mu‘ādh would have been that one, as mentioned by the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him).
