27

Allahu ta’ālā confirms those who believe by a firm saying, namely, the profession of [His] Oneness, in the life of this world and in the Hereafter, that is, in the grave, when the two angels question them about their Rabb, their religion and their Prophet, and they respond correctly, as [reported] in the hadīth of the two Shaykhs [al-Bukhārī and Muslim]; and Allahu ta’ālā sends astray the evildoers, the disbelievers, and therefore they are not guided to the correct response, saying instead, 'We do not know', as [reported] in the hadīth; and Allahu ta’ālā does what He will.
