عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا يَهُودِيَّةٌ اسْتَوْهَبَتْهَا طِيبًا، فَوَهَبَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، فَقَالَتْ: أَجَارَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، قَالَتْ: فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَتْ: فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! إِنَّ لِلْقَبْرِ عَذَابًا؟ قَالَ: ((نَعَمْ، إِنَّهُمْ لَيُعَذَّبُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ عَذَابًا تَسْمَعُهُ الْبَهَائِمُ))
Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: A Jewish woman came to me and asked for perfume. So when I gave her the perfume, she said: May Allah protect you from the punishment of the grave. This supplication caused doubt in my heart, until the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came. I told him about this and asked: O Messenger of Allah! Is there punishment in the grave? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, the dead are punished in their graves in such a way that animals hear its sound.
