Hadith 3317

عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ: ((مَتَى دُفِنَ هَذَا؟))، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! دُفِنَ هَذَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: ((لَوْ لَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ))
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to a garden of Banu Najjar in Madinah Munawwarah. There, he (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a sound from a grave and asked, "When was this man buried?" The companions replied, "O Messenger of Allah! This man was buried in the pre-Islamic era of ignorance." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt somewhat reassured and said, "If I did not fear that you would stop burying your dead, I would pray to Allah Almighty to let you hear the punishment of the grave."
