Much Love needed


May Allah bless everyone in this village, I wanted to share this hadith i came across.

I hope we can all find comfort in Allah, and find the right path and stay on it.

"
When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral rites, there stands
an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that
man gets in between the shroud and the chest
of the deceased.

When after the burial, the people return home, 2 angels, Munkar and Nakeer
(names of two special Angels), come in the grave and try to separate this
handsome man so that they may be able to interrogate the dead man in
privacy about his faith. But the handsome man says, "He is my companion, he
is my friend. I will not leave him alone in any case. If you are appointed
for interrogation, do your job. I cannot leave him until I get him admitted
into Paradise". Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, "I am
the Qura'an, which you used to read,sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes
in a low voice. Do not worry.

After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief. When
the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from
al_Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) a silk bedding filled with musk.

May Allah bestow this favour on all of us. AMEEN AMEEN
Rasulullah (Sallalloho alaihe wasallam) said, "On the Day of
Judgement, before Allah, no other intercessor will have a
greater status than the Qura'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel."

where did you get this hadith from? I have heard of the same hadith, but in a different context - that is, doing good in life will prevent your grave from shrinking and causing discomfort.

I find the "handsome man in a coffin with you" analogy a bit disturbing.
