FISHARE QABAR (NARROWNESS OF AN SQUEEZING IN THE GRAVE

This event is so horrifying, that it makes a person shiver with fright in this very world. Amirul Mo'meneen Ali (A.S.) says: "O the servants of Allah! The state in the grave of a person whose sins are not forgiven is more horrifying than death itself. Fear it's (grave's) narrowness, it's squeezing, it's imprisonment, and it's loneliness. Verily the grave calls out daily: I am the house of loneliness, of terror and worms. Grave is like a garden of Paradise for a good doer, while it is like a dungeon of hell for the evil doer. Allah tells His enemies that He will send ninety nine serpents in their graves, who will tear their flesh and smash their bones, and this punishment will continue till the outbreak of Qayamat. if one of the serpents exhales toward this earth, all plants and trees will be destroyed. O servants of Allah! Your souls are tender, and your bodies delicate, you cannot confront any ordinary serpent of this world, how then will you face them". It is related that Imam Ja'far-as-Sadiq (A.S.) used to get up daily in the middle of the night and call out in a loud voice so that everyone in the house could hear, and would say: اللهم اعني على هول المطلع ووسع على ضيق المضجع وارزقني ما قبل الموت وارزقني خير ما بعد الموت One of his (A.S)'s Supplication (Du'a) is also stated: اللهم بارك لي في الموت اللهم أعني على سكرات الموت اللهم أعني على غم القبر اللهم أعني على ضيق القبر اللهم أعني على وحشة القبر اللهم زوجني من الحور العين.
