One day, the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, went with his companions to deliver the body of an Ansar companion. When they arrived at the cemetery, the digging of the grave was not finished. So the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, sat on the ground facing the Qibla. While his friends sat around him calmly. So calm, as if there were birds perched on their heads. Through this hadith, the narrator of the hadith describes what the situation was like around the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, at that time. He took a stick and dug the ground. Then, he looked at the sky and looked down. Soon, he looked at the sky again and then looked down. Up to three times. After that, he said to the companions, "Ask of Allah (protection) from the torment of the grave." Two or three times. Then, he stood up and prayed: اَللَهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ Meaning: "O Allah, I truly seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave." (A total of three times) That is the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, may God bless him and grant him peace, at the same time as the opening of his long hadith. He described to his friends what it was like to be a slave from the time he was found dead until he was put in his grave, then abandoned by his family, colleagues, and friends. So what happened to the servant after that? It is said that when people are invited to death, they are divided into two groups: some who believe and some who disbelieve. And the difference between the two is very far and fundamental. Indeed, a servant who believes, when he wants to leave his worldly life and enter his afterlife, will be visited by angels from heaven. They come in their best form and will occupy a certain place, while wearing their best clothes. Their faces were white and radiant, like the sun was shining. In their hands there is a shroud from heaven to wrap the soul of the servant, complete with perfume that will perfume the spirit of the servant earlier. It looks like they are sitting as far as the eye can see. In fact, some pious people can tell what they witnessed, while the people around them did not see anything at all. source: net
