Is the story true about the man who was unable to answer the questions in the grave, and a young man of intense light came to mediate between him and the two angels, and said that he was the Salah (prayers/blessings) upon the Prophet — may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him — that the man used to frequently invoke, and that this story is accompanied by the Hadith: “Increase your Salah upon me, for it is light in this world, and light in the grave, and light in Paradise”?
Dreams are not a basis for beliefs; rather, they are subsidiary to established revelation. The dreams of those other than prophets cannot form the basis of a legal ruling. This dream contradicts what has been established: that a Muslim will answer the questions of the two angels in the grave with steadfastness, due to the Almighty's saying: (Allah will establish those who have believed with the firm word in worldly life and in the Hereafter). As for the mentioned , it has no basis, and it is circulated by Shiite books and some late jurists without a chain of narration. Sending blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has numerous virtues, as explained by Ibn al-Qayyim in his book "Jala' al-Afham."
