Bismillah
Assalamu alaikum,
It is an unanimity of the deobandi scholars of the past and present that the prophet (SAW) is alive in his grave with a special kind of aliveness. Without any doubt he passed away from this world for a short time.
Allah tala says:
“You will die (O Muhammad) and they (too) will die?” (Surah Az Zumar v;30)
Then Allah almighty gave aliveness in his grave of a worldly aliveness.
This is not only the aqeedah of ahlus-sunnah deobandis but a general consensus of the whole of ahlus-sunnah.
Molana khalil ahmad saharan poori (deobandi) wrote of unanimity of deobandi ulaamas on this issue:
according to us and our mashaikh (of deoband) the prophet (saw) is alive in his grave of a wordly life without putting any sort of formality. This aliveness is exclusive.
The holy prophet (saw) and all the prophets (as) as well as the martyrs, are not in a barzaki life which is acquired by all muslims in fact by all human beings.
Therefore , Imaam Suyuti (ra) wrote in his essay ?Anbahul-azkiya bi-hayatil-anbiya?. He says allamah taqiud-deen As-subuki (ra) said: the aliveness of the prophets and martyrs in the grave is like their aliveness when they were alive in this world. (Al- muhannad Alal-mufannad. Page 221)
