Question:
How can a person have a nice fragrant on him when he passes away and a exceedingly bright noor on his face?
Answer:
“When you smile to your brother’s face, it is charity.” This is an authentic hadith.
The Prophet (saws) followed this advice in his everyday life. Abd Allah b. al-Harith said: “I have never seen anyone more in the habit of smiling than Allah’s Messenger.” (Tirmidhi)
Even on the day he died, while lying in his sickbed, he did smile with a bright laughing smile with face full of light and a exceedingly bright noor on his face. This is according to Sahihs of al-Bukhari (639) and Muslim(636).
The Prophet (saws) saw a smile as a gift of joy, a gift whose substance is received by the heart – sound and pure heart.
If the smile is real the light or noor will be real and apparent on the face even when a person passes away.
