Whenever Uthman (Radiallahu Anhu) stood before a grave he wept until his beard was wet. He was asked: ‘You have seen battle and death without a tear, and you cry for this?’ He said: ‘The grave is the first abode of the hereafter. Whoever is saved from it, what follows is easier; whoever is not saved from it, what follows is harder. The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: I have not seen anything more frightful than the punishment in the grave.’ Uthman (Radiallahu Anhu) also related from the Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasallam) that whenever the latter finished burying someone, he would stand by the grave and say: All of you, ask Allah to forgive your brother and make him steadfast, for he is now being questioned.
