Tafsir al-'Ayyashi: Zayd al-Shahham says: Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, was asked about the punishment of the grave. He said: Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, has said that a man came to Salman the Persian and said: Relate a hadith to me. Salman was silent. He asked again, and again he was silent. The man made to leave, but recited the verse "Those who conceal the clear signs and the guidance We have sent down, after We have made them plain for people in the Book." Salman said: Come! If we found a trustworthy man we would relate hadith to him; but make yourself ready for Nakir and Munkar, for in the grave you will be questioned about the Prophet. If you doubt, or it weighs heavy upon you, they will strike your head with a mace until you turn to ashes. I asked: And after that? He said: You return to your first state and are punished! I said: What are Munkar and Nakir? He said: They are your two companions in the grave. I said: Are they two angels who punish people in their graves? He said: Yes.

بيان: قال الجزري القعيد الذي يصاحبك في قعودك فعيل بمعنى مفاعل.

Elucidation: "Al-qa'id", on the pattern of "fa'il" in the sense of the active participle: that is, one who keeps you company as you sit within the grave.
