Abstract

Sama Moti or Sama Mu'at refers to the ability of the dead to hear the voices of the living and communicate with them in the realm of purgatory. This concept is one of the controversial issues between Muslims and Wahhabis, and the acceptance of some religious issues such as invoking the dead depends on this concept. Narrations mention the life of the dead in purgatory, as well as the power of the dead to communicate with the living, including hearing their voices. These hadiths have been narrated in Sunni sources, and some Salafists, such as Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim, have accepted sama'a muti by citing them.Some Wahhabis cite verses, including verse 22 of Surah Fater, which refers to the inability of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) to make the dead hear, and they believe that with death, the connection between the dead and the living is severed. In this article, an attempt has been made to deal with these issues and problems with a library method and to prove the life of Barzakhi and Sama Muti, and to answer the projection and problems of Wahhabism, and as a result, to prove that Wahhabism emphasizes a point of view on the issue of Sama Mumut. It is contrary to what Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Qayyim have proposed.
