a HANDSOME man..

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: 'When a man dies and his
relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man
by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between
the shroud and the chest of the deceased.

When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and
Nakeer(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to
separate this handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the
dead man in privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, 'He is
my companion, he is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any
case. If you are appointed for interrogation, do your job. I cannot
leave him until I get him admitted into Paradise '.

Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the Qur'an,
which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a
low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker,
you will have no grief.'

When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from
Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk.

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihe wasallam) said: 'On the Day of
Judgement, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater
status than the Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.'
