Here is a SaHeeH hadeeth that talks about what happens to the Prophets (عليهم السلام) and the Ahl Al-Bayt (عليهم السلام) when they die. This hadeeth also discusses the permissibility of sending our salaams to them (عليهم السلام) from their graves after their death.
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَلَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ وَ لَا وَصِيِّ نَبِيٍّ يَبْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى تُرْفَعَ رُوحُهُ وَ عَظْمُهُ وَ لَحْمُهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ إِنَّمَا تُؤْتَى مَوَاضِعُ آثَارِهِمْ وَ يُبَلِّغُونَهُمْ مِنْ بَعِيدٍ السَّلَامَ وَ يُسْمِعُونَهُمْ فِي مَوَاضِعِ آثَارِهِمْ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ
From Ziyaad bin Abee Al-Hilaal from Abee `Abd Allaah (عليه السلام): “There is neither a prophet nor successor of a prophet who remains on earth for more than three days. Thereafter, his soul, flesh and bones are taken up to the heavens. Furthermore, going to places which their marks are located, and conveying salaams to them from afar. They (will) hear from the places which have their marks (as if they were) nearby.”

حدثني محمد بن يعقوب عن عدة من أصحابه عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى عن علي بن الحكم عن زياد بن أبي الهلال عن أبي عبد الله ع قال ما من نبي و لا وصي نبي يبقىفي الأرض بأكثر من ثلاثة أيام ثم ترفع روحه و عظمه و لحمه إلى السماء و إنما يؤتى مواضع آثارهم و يبلغونهم من بعيد السلام و يسمعونهم في مواضع آثارهم من قريب

Salam Alaikum,
ReplyDeleteFrom these traditions, It seems that our Imams only hear us where they were buried, and not everywhere. If I am correct, then unfortunately many Shiite Muslims who practice a practice that none of our Imams have mentioned ..
but what about this
ReplyDelete"While he was a prisoner in Baghdad there was a severe draught. Rain had not fallen for some time and crops were drying up. People were facing a famine. They did not know what to do. A Christian priest came to the rescue. He lifted his hands in prayer and rain fell. The Caliph became concerned lest for this reason people would forsake Islam and become Christians. When the Imam was consulted, he said that when people assembled to see the so called miracle performed by the Christian priest, he would remove their doubts. The Imam was allowed to leave the prison to go where the crowd assembled to see the miracle performed by the priest. Imam stood there with the crowd and when the priest raised his hands for prayand rain began to fall, Imam told one of his companions to seize the hands of the priest and bring the piece of bone hidden in his hands. When this bone was brought before the Imam, he said that """"""""""""it was the bone of a Prophet of God"""""""""""". It was the effect of this holy bone when lifted in prayers to God that brought God's mercy and brought rain to the land.
