Allamah Majlisi quotes in his ‘Tohfatuz Zaereen’ from ‘Irshadul Quloob’ and ‘Farhatul Uzza’ that a virtuous man from Kufa relates that,
“Once on a rainy night I was seated in the Masjid of Kufa when some people entered the Mosque from the door near the shrine of Muslim bin Aqeel carrying a bier with them. They kept the bier on a mound. One of the persons accompanying the funeral felt asleep.
He dreamt that two persons came near the bier, and one said to the other that “I will settle his account fast before he is taken to Najaf, because then I will not be able to go near him.”
The person got up from his dream and narrated it to others who understood the whole situation (that the two men were Munkar and Nakeer who had come to question the dead man), and lifted the bier and proceeded towards Najaf to save the dead man from chastisement and the questioning.”
