The mentioned book is unknown to us. Reviving the dead is an easy matter for Allah, but what happens to the wicked and disbelievers in this regard is from the trickery of devils. As Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned, devils appear in the forms of the dead to delude the living into believing in their return. This (devil) comes to the wife and does things related to the deceased. Therefore, it is not permissible to build any beliefs or rulings based on the news from these people.
