[When] Harim ibn Hayyaan died it was a hot day. So when they had finished with his grave, there came a cloud which stopped over the grave; it was neither longer nor shorter than it (the grave). And it drizzled over it (the grave) until it had drenched it, and then it went away.

None of them had seen what I had seen
I attended the funeral of al-Ahnaf in Koofaa, and was amongst those who descended down into his grave, and when I had leveled it [ready for his body to then be placed inside], I saw how it had been made wide and spacious – as far as my eye could see!
And Allaah will be sufficient for you against them
Reference: Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa Abu Nadhrah reports that Abu Sa’eed said: They struck him (‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan) and [his] blood spilt onto the mus.haf, [specifically] on the aayah: {And Allaah will be sufficient for you against them. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing}, soorah al-baqarah, aayah 137

Sadness and grief
When death came upon [his uncle] Ja’far [ibn Abee Taalib], it was then we noticed sadness and grief upon the face of the Prophet ﷺ.
Tears fell upon his cheek
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ kissed ‘Uthmaan ibn Magh.dthoon whilst he [lay there before him] – dead, and [as he did so] his tears fell upon the cheek of ‘Uthmaan ibn Magh.dthoon.
I long to meet you
O Allaah, indeed I long to meet you, so long to meet me [too].
Does not realise he is dreaming until he wakes up
One who is asleep does not realise he is dreaming until he wakes up, likewise, one who is negligent of the Hereafter does not realise what he has lost until after death reaches him.
Bury him where he dies
On 30 Jumada Thani 1414, when asked about the will within which the deceased requested burial in Madeenah, Shaykh Ibn Baaz said: This is not befitting; Whenever anyone dies, he is to be buried in the town in which he dies.
