حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " إِذَا مَاتَ الْمَيِّتُ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ مَقْعَدُهُ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِيِّ فَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَمِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَمِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَذَا مَقْعَدُكَ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَكَ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
The Messenger Of Allah Said: "When A Person Dies, He Is Shown His Place [Both In The Morning And The Evening]. If He Is One Of The People Of Paradise; He Is Shown His Place Among The People Of Paradise, And If He One Of The People Of The Fire; He Is Shown His Place Among The People Of The Fire. Then It Is Said To Him: 'This Is Your Place Until Allah Resurrects You On The Day Of Judgment.'"

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 1072
This hadith about the deceased being shown his place speaks about what happens after a person dies. The Prophet says that when a person dies, he is shown his place in the morning and evening. If he is among the people of Paradise, he is shown his place among them. If he is among the people of the Fire, he is shown his place among them. Then it is said that this is his place until Allah resurrects him on the Day of Judgment. The narration is simple but serious. It connects death, the unseen life after burial, and resurrection in a way that pushes the believer to prepare before death comes.
