Riyad as-Salihin, 427
Bara' bin 'Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When a believer is questioned in the grave, he testifies that, 'there is no true god except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.' About him the Words of Allah, the Exalted, are: 'Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the firm statement (The Testimony of Faith) in this world and the Hereafter)". (14:27) <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
وعن البراء بن عازب، رضي الله عنهما، عن النبي، صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: “المسلم إذا سئل في القبر يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمداً رسول الله، فذلك قوله تعالى: {يثبت الله الذين آمنوا بالقول الثابت في الحياة الدنيا وفي الآخرة} ((إبراهيم:27)) ((متفق عليه)) .

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It points out Allah’s mercy towards His servants in this world and in the Hereafter. If a person fulfills Tawhid and applies it in his life, Allah will reward him by making him firm in this world, in the grave, and on the Day of Judgment.<br>
2) The best means whereby we can interpret the Qur’an is the Prophet’s statements.
