Bra'a ibn 'Azib relates that the Holy Prophet said: When a Muslim is questioned in his grave he testifies that there is none worthy of worship save. Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger. This is affirmed in the verse:. Allah strengthens the believers with the Word that is firmly established both in this life and the hereafter (14. 28). (Bokhari and Muslim). 431. Anas relates that the Holy Prophet said: When a disbeliever does good he is fed out of it in this world, and in the case of the Muslim Allah stores up his good works for him in the hereafter and provides for him in this life on account of his obedience.
