CHAPTER 4

SUSPICION OF HYPOCRISY REGARDTNG THE HEEDLESS The Holy Quran says: "Among them are some who give ear unto thee (Muhammad) till, when they go forth from thy presence." (47 : 16)

In another Verse the Almighty Allah says: "Already have We urged unto hell many of the jinn and human-kind, having hearts wherewith they understand not." (7:179) Asma' (Allah be pleased with her) reported Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah upon him) as saying: You will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of ad-Dajjal. You will be asked, "What do you know about this man(the Prophet Muhammad (peace end blessings of Allah be upon him). Then the faithful believer will reply, "He is Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Allah's Apostle who had come to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his teachings and followed him." Then the angels will say to him, "Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a faithful believer." On the other hand, a hypocrite of suspicious nature will reply, "I do not know, but I heard the people saying something and so I said it (the same)." Bukhari and Muslim transmitted it. In another tradition reported by Bara' b. 'Azib, the words are as follows: A believer will reply that he is Allah's Messenger. Both the Angels will say : Yon read Allah's Book, believed in it. Indeed you have spoken the truth.
