Download PDF: [S] He Read Surah yaseen in his Grave (Islamic story)

The writer of Fawaa’id Al Fawaad writes:

 

Once Imam Naasirudeen Basti – may Allah be pleased with him – became very ill. In fact, his illness became even more severe and thinking that he had passed away, his family decided to bury him. However, at night, he regained consciousness in his grave and realised that he had been buried. He was extremely shocked and at the same time, extremely perturbed and worried. He also remembered that a person who recites Surah Yaseen forty times in times of stress and trouble, his stress and problems would disappear. In other words, poverty would turn to riches.

 

He then began to recite Surah Yaseen. However, while he had read only twenty seventy times, suddenly he heard a sound from above. He also figured that this person who was interfering with his grave was no one else but a Kafan thief. He then decided to read Surah Yaseen softly so that he would not disturb this person. As he completed the fortieth Yaseen, at that moment, the Kafan thief opened his grave. He then got from this grave and left the place. As for the Kafan thief, he himself was in a state of shock and ran from the cemetery.

 

He also realised that if goes to his house, everyone would also go into a state of shock. He then decided to enter the town when it was dark. As he neared the door of each locality (because in those days, each locality had its own door), he shouted out, “I am Naasrideen Basti and people that thought that I was dead even though I was in coma and buried me and they buried me by mistake. I am also alive.”

 

It is mentioned that after this incident, he also completed the Tafseer of the Qur’an.

 

Another story is also mentioned about someone named Badee’uz Zamaan who lived in the 4th century. He was also a noted scholar of his age. He also became very ill and fell into a coma. Obviously people thought that he had died and they decided to bury him. He regained consciousness in his grave. However when they opened his grave later on, they noticed that he was holding his beard in awe of what transpires in the grave and he had really passed away. (Waafi yaat Al A’yun)
