Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 459
Narrated Abu Huraira :
 
Allah's Apostle used to invoke (Allah): "Allahumma ini a'udhu bika  
min 'adhabi-l-Qabr, wa min 'adhabi-nnar, wa min fitnati-l-mahya wa-lmamat,  
wa min fitnati-l-masih ad-dajjal. (O Allah! I seek refuge with you from the  
punishment in the grave and from the punishment in the Hell fire and from  
the afflictions of life and death, and the afflictions of Al-Masih  
Ad-Dajjal."
 
 
Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 460
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
 
The Prophet once passed by two graves and said, "They (the deceased persons  
in those graves) are being tortured not for a great thing to avoid." And  
then added, "Yes, (they are being punished for a big sin), for one of them  
used to go about with calumnies while the other never saved himself from  
being soiled with his urine." (Ibn Abbas added): Then he took a green leaf  
of a date-palm) and split it into two pieces and fixed one piece on each  
grave and said, "May their punishment be abated till these (two pieces) get  
dry."
 
 
Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 461
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :
 
Allah's Apostle said, "When anyone of you dies, he is shown his place both  
in the morning and in the evening. If he is one of the people of Paradise;  
he is shown his place in it, and if he is from the people of the Hell-Fire;  
he is shown his place there-in. Then it is said to him, 'This is your place  
till Allah resurrect you on the Day of Resurrection."
 
 
Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 23 :: Hadith 462
Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri :
 
Allah's Apostle said, "When the funeral is ready (for its burial) and the  
people lift it on their shoulders, then if the deceased is a righteous  
person he says, 'Take me ahead,' and if he is not a righteous one then he  
says, 'Woe to it (me)! Where are you taking it (me)?' And his voice is  
audible to everything except human beings; and if they heard it they would  
fall down unconscious .
