(1703) Chapter: Questioning And Punishment In The Grave
157
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الإِسْنَادِ نَحْوَهُ قَالَ : " إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَتَوَلَّى عَنْهُ أَصْحَابُهُ إِنَّهُ لَيَسْمَعُ قَرْعَ نِعَالِهِمْ، فَيَأْتِيهِ مَلَكَانِ فَيَقُولاَنِ لَهُ " . فَذَكَرَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ حَدِيثِ الأَوَّلِ قَالَ فِيهِ : " وَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ وَالْمُنَافِقُ فَيَقُولاَنِ لَهُ " . زَادَ : " الْمُنَافِقُ " . وَقَالَ : " يَسْمَعُهَا مَنْ يَلِيهِ غَيْرَ الثَّقَلَيْنِ " .

The tradition mentioned above has also transmitted by 'Abd al-Wahhab through a different chain of narrators in a similar manner. This version has :
When a man is placed in his grave and his friends leave him, he hears the beat of their sandals. Then two angles come and speak to him. He then mentioned the rest of the tradition nearly similar to the previous one. It goes : As for the infidel and hypocrite they say to them. This version adds the word "hypocrite". And he said : those who are near him will hear (his shout) with the exception of men and jinn.
