The Dead Will Be Shown Their Seat In Paradise And Hell
Then Allah will ask them: “For how many years did you stay on earth?” (Al-Mu’minun 23:112)
They will say: “We stayed for a day or part of a day.100 Ask of those who keep count of this.” (Al-Mu’minun 23:113)
He will say: “You stayed only for a while if you only knew that. (Al-Mu’minun 23:114)
Did you imagine that We created you without any purpose and that you will not be brought back to Us?” (Al-Mu’minun 23:115)
Ibn ‘Umar {r.a.}reported .. Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:- ” When any one of you dies, he is shown his seat (in the Hereafter) morning and evening”. “If he is amongst the inmates of Paradise (he is shown the seat) from amongst the inmates of Paradise. and if he is one from amongst the denizens of Hell (he is shown the seat) from amongst the denizens of Hell, and it would be said to him:- “That is your seat until Allah raises you on the Day of Resurrection” (and sends you to your proper seat).

Anas b. Malik reported:- Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said:- When the servant is placed in his grave and his companions retrace their steps he hears the noise of the footsteps, then two angels come to him and make him sit and say to him:- What you have to say about this person the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him)?
If he is a believer, he would say:- I bear testimony to the fact that he is a servant of Allah and His Messenger.
Then it would be said to him:- Look to your seat in the Hell-Fire, for Allah has substituted (the seat of yours) with a seat in Paradise
Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:- He would be shown both the seats.
Qatada said:- It was mentioned to us that his grave (the grave of a believer) expands to seventy cubits and is full with verdure until the Day when they would be resurrected.
