S08 - Reflections Upon Death & Eternal Life - The Quran accompanies the reciter before burial.

Yusuf Circle Sheffield

The Quran begins to accompany the reciter even before burial. The Quran stands by the head of the deceased as he's being washed. Every deceased that dies perceives the one who bathes him (Daylamee) and perceives the one who carries him & lowers him into the grave (Ahmad). The deceased says to the one bathing him, 'I make you swear by Allah SWT that you be gentle with me in the bathing (Sharus Sudoor). Allah SWT forgives 40 grave sins of the one who bathes a deceased and then hides his imperfections (Tabarani). The one who shrouds the deceased then Allah SWT will make him wear the attire of Sundus (fine silk of Paradise) (Tabarani). He who expresses condolences to a troubled person, then Allah SWT will make him wear 2 such attires from the attires of Paradise... (Tabarani).
