أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظِ فِي فَوَائِدِ الشَّيْخِ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَشْنَانِيُّ قَالَا أنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ نا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَابِرِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ نا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ نا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ الْقَعْقَاعِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَيَّاشِ
قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: " مَا الْمَيِّتُ فِي الْقَبْرِ إِلَّا كَالْغَرِيقِ الْمُتَغَوِّثِ يَنْتَظِرُ دَعْوَةً تَلْحَقُهُ مِنْ أَبٍ أَوْ أُمٍّ أَوْ أَخٍ أَوْ صَدِيقٍ فَإِذَا لَحِقَتْهُ كَانَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا، وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَيُدْخِلُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْقُبُورِ مِنْ دُعَاءِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ أَمْثَالَ الْجِبَالِ وَإِنَّ هَدِيَّةَ الْأَحْيَاءِ إِلَى الْأَمْوَاتِ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ لَهُمْ "

He said: The Prophet ﷺ said: "The dead person in the grave is nothing but like a drowning man crying for help. He waits for a supplication to reach him from a father, or a mother, or a brother, or a friend. When it reaches him, it is dearer to him than the world and what is in it. And indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, admits upon the people of the graves, from the supplication of the people of the earth, the like of mountains. And indeed the gift of the living to the dead is seeking forgiveness for them."
