Amr bin Al-as (May Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "When you have buried me, keep standing near my grave till (for the time it takes to) a camel is slaughtered and its meat is distributed, so that I may feel your nearness and know what to reply to the angels sent by my Rubb.'' [Muslim]

Commentary: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) has instructed his followers that after a Muslim's burial, they should keep standing beside his grave for some time and pray for his firmness on facing the interrogating angels in the grave. Amr bin Al-as RA, too, made a will to this effect. What has come to us from the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) as his Sunnah in this respect is the act of making Duaa (supplicating), and it will be appropriate to confine to it.

When Bob came home, his wife Diane was crying. "Your mother insulted me," she sobbed.

"My mother? How could she do that when she is on vacation on the other side of the world? Bob asked."

"I know. But this morning a letter addressed to you arrived. I opened it because I was curious."
And?

"At the end of the letter she wrote: PS. Dear Diane, when you have finished reading this letter, don't forget to give it to my son."
