Arabic text

بن أبي البلاد عن أبيه عن بعض أصحابه يرفعه (رفعه) إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله أنه قال لبعض أصحابه: كيف أنت إذا اتاك فتانا القبر؟ فقال يا رسول الله: ما فتانا القبر قال: ملكان فظان غليظان أصواتهما كالرعد القاصف وأبصارهما كالبرق الخاطف يطئان في أشعارهما ويحفران الأرض بأنيابهما فيسئلانك قال: وأنت على مثل حالك هذه قال: أنت على مثل حالك هذه قال: اذن اكفيهما.

Translation

8.Ibn Abī al-Bilād narrated from his father, from one of his companions who attributed it to the Prophet (ṣ), that he said to one of his companions, “How will you be when the two examiners of the grave come to you?” So he (the companion) asked, “O Messenger of Allah, what are the examiners of the grave?” He said, “Two angels, harsh and severe, with voices like rumbling thunder and eyes like blinding lightning. They will be treading on their own hair and ploughing the ground with their [large] fangs; they will [come to] question you.” He asked, “[Will that be] when I am in a state such as this?” He replied, “[Yes,] you will be as you are in your present state.” He said, “Then I will be able to face them.”’”
