A shroud thief participated in the funeral Ṣalāĥ of a woman and noted the whereabouts of her grave in the graveyard. At night, he dug the grave with the intention of stealing the shroud. All of a sudden, the blessed woman spoke, ‘سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! A Maghfūr (pardoned) person is stealing the shroud of a Maghfūraĥ woman! Listen, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ has forgiven me and all those who offered my funeral Ṣalāĥ and you are also among the pardoned ones.’ Listening to this, he immediately closed the grave and repented sincerely.
(Shu’ab-ul-Īmān, vol. 7, pp. 8, Ḥadīš 9261)
May Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ bless them and forgive us without any accountability for their sake!
