فيما يخفف به عذاب القبر
What lightens the punishment of the grave
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12418 — What lightens the punishment
١٢٤١٨ - حدثنا أبو معاوية عن الأعمش عن مجاهد عن طاوس عن ابن عباس قال: مر النبي ﷺ بقبرين فقال: "إنهما ليعذبان وما يعذبان في (كبير) (١) أما أحدهما فكان لا (يستتر) (٢) من البول، وأما الآخر فكان يمشي (بالنميمة) (٣) "، ثم (أخذ) (٤) جريدة رطبة فشقها نصفين، ثم غرس في كل قبر واحدة فقالوا: يا رسول اللَّه ﷺ لم فعلت هذا؟ قال: "لعله (أن) (٥) يخفف عنهما ما لم ييبسا" (٦).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by two graves and said: "These two are being punished, and they are not being punished for something major. One of them did not guard himself against drops of urine, and the other was a tale-bearer." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) took a fresh palm stalk, split it in two and planted one on each grave. The Companions said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), why did you do this?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perhaps their punishment will be lightened as long as these remain fresh."
