Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 1027

وَعَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَمْشِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ إِذْ أَتَى عَلَى قَبْرَيْنِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ صَاحِبَيْ هَذَيْنِ الْقَبْرَيْنِ يُعَذَّبَانِ ، فَأْتِيَانِي بِجَرِيدَةٍ " . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرَةَ : فَاسْتَبَقْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِجَرِيدَةٍ ، فَشَقَّهَا نِصْفَيْنِ ، فَوَضَعَ فِي هَذَا الْقَبْرِ وَاحِدَةً ، وَفِي ذَا الْقَبْرِ وَاحِدَةً . قَالَ : " لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفِّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا دَامَتَا رَطْبَتَيْنِ إِنَّهُمَا يُعَذِّبَانِ بِغَيْرِ كَبِيرٍ : الْغِيبَةُ ، وَالْبَوْلُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ ، وَأَحْمَدُ ، وَهَذَا لَفْظُ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ ، وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ : " وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ ، وَبَلَى ، وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ إِلَّا فِي الْغِيبَةِ وَالْبَوْلِ " . وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ بِاخْتِصَارٍ ، وَرِجَالُهُ مُوَثَّقُونَ .
Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was walking between me and another man when he came to two graves. He said: The occupants of these two graves are being punished; bring me a branch, both of you! Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: My companion and I raced each other, and I brought him a branch. He split it into two parts, placed one part on one grave and the other on the other grave, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As long as these two (branches) do not dry, the punishment of these two people will remain lightened. These two are not being punished for a major sin (that is, it is not a sin that is difficult to avoid; the two sins are): backbiting, and urine (not guarding against its splashes).
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and Imam Ahmad also recorded it; these are the words of al-Tabarani's report. The words of Imam Ahmad are: "These two are not being punished for anything major (in their eyes); yes indeed! These two are being punished only for backbiting and urine (not guarding against its splashes)."
Ibn Majah recorded it in abridged form, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy.
