Musnad Ahmad 26976

Translation

✧ On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ, she said: "When a person enters his grave, if he is a believer, his deeds, such as prayer and fasting, will come to him. An angel will come to him from the side of prayer and return it, and from the side of fasting and return it. Then, he will be called to sit. He will sit and be asked, 'What do you say about this man?' meaning the Prophet ﷺ. He will say, 'Who?' The angel will say, 'Muhammad.' He will say, 'I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The angel will ask, 'How do you know him?' He will say, 'I bear witness that he is the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.' The angel will say, 'Live as you have lived, die as you have died, and be resurrected as you have been resurrected.' If he is a sinful person or a disbeliever, the angel will come to him and nothing will return him from it. The angel will make him sit and ask, 'What do you say about this man?' He will say, 'Which man?' The angel will say, 'Muhammad.' He will say, 'By Allah, I do not know.' I heard people saying something, so I said it.' The angel will say, 'Live as you have lived, die as you have died, and be resurrected as you have been resurrected.' Then, a beast will be set upon him in his grave, with a whip whose tip is a burning ember the size of the hump of a camel, striking him as Allah wills, deafening him with a voice that he will not hear, causing him to be punished."
