سورة ق

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): The hardest hours for a human being are three hours: the hour in which he comes face to face with the Angel of Death, and the hour in which he is raised from his grave.

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِراعاً [The day on which the earth shall cleave asunder under them, they will make haste] means at the time of the raj'a (return).

Imam Ali (peace be upon him): On the Day of Resurrection no one shall raise his head from the earth except that two angels will take him by the arm and say: "Answer the Lord of Might."

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): And I seek refuge in the nobility of Your Essence from being made to stand in a place of humiliation and disgrace on the Day when the veils and the great scandals are exposed and the pillars tremble — the Day of regret and remorse, the Day of famine, the Day of arrival, the Day of loss, the Day of separation, the Day of recompense, a Day whose measure is fifty thousand years! (Maʿarij/4), the Day of the blowing; that Day when terrifying earthquakes shake everything and following it the second event [the mighty cry] takes place (Naziʿat/76), the Day of resurrection, the Day of the presentation of deeds, the Day when people stand before the Lord of the Worlds (Mutaffifin/6), the Day when a person flees from his brother, and his mother and his father, and his wife and his children (ʿAbasa/34-36), the Day when the earth swiftly splits open from over them.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): O Ali (peace be upon him)! Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, has bestowed upon me seven qualities concerning you; you are the first whose grave will split open and you will raise your head from the dust at the same time as me.

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family): O Ali (peace be upon him)! I asked my Lord for five things concerning you and He granted them to me; my first request was that I be the first to come out from the split of the earth and shake the dust from my head, and that you be with me.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): The body of no prophet nor of the successor of a prophet remains in the earth for more than forty days.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): All the prophets (peace be upon them) and their successors — in less than three days after their death, their soul, bones and flesh ascend to the heavens. People go to the places of their burial and graves and greet them with salam from afar, and they hear the voices of the people from up close at their resting places.

Imam Askari (peace be upon him): Ali ibn Hasan ibn Shapur says: In the time of Imam Askari (peace be upon him), there was a drought. The caliph ordered the court minister and all the people of the kingdom to go out into the desert for the prayer of istisqa (seeking rain). ... On the fourth day, the Catholicos, the scholar of the Christians, went out into the desert with the Christians and the monks. ... The caliph said: "What is this bone?" The Imam (peace be upon him) said: "This man passed by the grave of one of the prophets (peace be upon him) and this bone came into his hand. The bone of a prophet is not uncovered except that rain pours down intensely."
