The Grave Needless to say that one of the questions that we will face in the grave will be whether we had borne the Third Testimony or not. WASAAIL US SHIA - VOL 3 H3336 It has been reported from Ibn Abbas that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) went to Fatimah Bint Assad (a.s.) the mother of Ali Bin Abi Talib (a.s.) in her grave until his face was close to hers and said: 'O Fatima!

Surely there will come to you Munkar and Nakeer and ask you, 'Who is your Lord?' You say to them, 'Allah is my Lord, Muhammad is my Messenger and Islam is my religion and Qur'an is my Book and my son is my Imam and my Trustee.' The he (s.a.w.) said: 'O my Allah!

The Holy Imam Ali (a.s.) said: 'I heard from the Messenger of Allah who said: 'Whosoever recites this supplication, Allah (s.w.t.) will give him the reward of fifty years and forgive his sins of fifty years, and of his parents as well.'

He (s.a.w.) replied: 'There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Ali is the Trustee of Allah.' And then he (s.a.w) asked Jibraeel: 'How will my followers cross the bridge of Siraat?
