One of the hadiths that needs to be examined and pondered is the hadith: "الأنْبِیاءُ أَحیاءٌ فی قُبُورِهِم یصَلُّونَ" (The prophets are alive in their graves praying). The conducted investigations show that this hadith is mentioned in many hadith books with different expressions and there are many discussions about its authenticity and meaning.Since the proof of the authenticity of the hadith and the discussion about the type of life mentioned in the hadith has certain theological effects and consequences such as the legitimacy of appeal, intercession, and formative guardianship, the following article examines the evidence and implications of the said hadith with a descriptive and analytical method.The findings of this research indicate that the hadith in question is found in the accepted sources of Salafiyyah and based on the confession of some Salafis such as Albani, it is considered a valid hadith.The meaning of this hadith can be confirmed by many similar hadiths; and the Salafiyyah interpretation of the text of the hadith is incompatible with the teachings of the Qurʾān, Hadith and the consensus of Sunni scholars.
