It is narrated from Shaikh Bahaai (RA) in the famous book ARNAEEN
by the respected and honourable Saiyed Qazi Saeed Qumi that: one of
my friends was residing in the Qabaristan of Isfahen. He was spending
most of his time praying near the graves. Sometimes I used to go to see
him. Once I asked “Is there anything astonishing which you have seen
in the graveyard? He said: Yes, a maiyat (dead body) was brought the
earlier day. People buried it in this corner and want away. After sunset
a bad smell spread there which made me restless because I had never
smelled such a foul smell. Suddenly a black and frightening shape appeared from which that foul smell was emanating. That shape sat
near the said grave and disappeared. After only a few moments I
smelled a very pleasant fragrance like which I had witnessed never before. At the same time a very beautiful shape arrived, neared the same
grave and disappeared. (These are the wonders of the celestial heavenly
world that appear in such shapes). After some time I saw that the beautiful shape came out of that grave with bloody wounds :I prayed : My
Lord ! Let me know who were these two appearances? So I was enlightened that the beautiful face was the embodiment of the good deeds
of the deceased and the frightening face of his bad deeds.
