يحكى عن الشبلي رحمه الله قال : مات رجل من جيراني فرأيته في المنام فقلت : ما فعل الله بك فقال : يا شبلي مرت بي أهوال عظيمة وذلك أنه أرتج علي عند السؤال فقلت في نفسي : من أين أتي علي ألم أمت على الإسلام فنوديت : هذه عقوبة إهمالك للسانك في الدنيا فلما هم بي الملكان حال بيني وبينهما رجل جميل الشخص طيب الرائحة فذكرني حجتي فذكرتها فقلت : من أنت يرحمك الله قال : أنا شخص خلقت من كثرة صلاتك على النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وأمرت أن أنصرك في كل كرب ذكره ابن بشكوال (القول البديع ص265)

Sheikh Shibli (rahimahullah) reports the following incident: On one occasion, one of my neighbors passed away. Sometime later, I saw him in a dream. I asked him, “How did Allah Ta‘ala deal with you?” He replied, “O Shibli! I underwent great distress and difficulty, as I was unable to reply to the questions of the angels in the grave! When I found that I was unable to speak and reply, I thought to myself, ‘Why am I undergoing such hardship? Did I not pass away with Imaan?’ As soon as this thought crossed my mind, a voice called out to me, ‘This is the punishment for you being negligent regarding the use of your tongue in the dunya.’ Thereafter, when the two angels wished to punish me, a man who was most handsome and had an extremely exquisite fragrance emitting from him intervened between me and the angels and assisted me to give the correct answer. After giving the correct answer to the angels and being saved from the punishment, I asked the man, ‘Who are you? May Allah have mercy on you!’ The man answered, ‘I am a man who has been created by Allah through the abundant durood that you recited on Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). I have been sent and commanded to assist you at the time of your difficulty.’”

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمًا اَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيْبِكَ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
