Interrogations in the Grave - Who Is Interrogated and Who Is Not

۞
8. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Shammun from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Qasim from abu Bakr al-Hadramiy who has said the following
“I asked abu Ja’far (a.s.), ’May Allah grant you well being, who are interrogated in the grave?’ The Imam replied, ‘The only ones interrogated in the grave are those whose belief or disbelief is absolute and total.’ The narrator has said that I then asked, ‘What about the rest of these creatures?’ The Imam replied, ‘They, by Allah, will be left alone.’ The narrator has said that I then asked about the phrase: ‘What will they be asked about?’ The Imam replied, ‘They will be questioned about Divine authority established among you. The believers will be asked, “What do you say about so and so son of so and so?” The believer will say, “He is my Imam.” They then will say, “Rest to sleep; may Allah grant rest to your eyes.’” They will open to him a door to paradise whereby he keeps receiving gifts up to the Day of Judgment. They ask an unbeliever, “What do you say about so and so son of so and so?” He will say, “I have heard about him but I do not know who he is.” The angels will say, “May you never know!”’ The Imam then said, ‘The two angels will open a door of fire to him from which he will suffer up to the Day of Judgment.’”
8ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَصْلَحَكَ الله مَنِ الْمَسْئُولُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ قَالَ مَنْ مَحَضَ الإِيمَانَ وَمَنْ مَحَضَ الْكُفْرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَبَقِيَّةُ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ قَالَ يُلْهَى وَالله عَنْهُمْ مَا يُعْبَأُ بِهِمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَعَمَّ يُسْأَلُونَ قَالَ عَنِ الْحُجَّةِ الْقَائِمَةِ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ فَيُقَالُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي فُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ فَيَقُولُ ذَاكَ إِمَامِي فَيُقَالُ نَمْ أَنَامَ الله عَيْنَكَ وَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَمَا يَزَالُ يُتْحِفُهُ مِنْ رَوْحِهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيُقَالُ لِلْكَافِرِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي فُلاَنِ بْنِ فُلاَنٍ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ بِهِ وَمَا أَدْرِي مَا هُوَ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ لاَ دَرَيْتَ قَالَ وَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ مِنَ النَّارِ فَلاَ يَزَالُ يُتْحِفُهُ مِنْ حَرِّهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
