It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by two graves whose occupants were being punished. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Behold! These two are not being punished for something that was difficult (for them to avoid). One of them used to backbite people, and the other did not care to guard himself against the splashes of his urine." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for one or two fresh palm branches and broke them, then ordered that each piece be planted on a grave. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Their punishment will surely be lightened as long as these branches remain fresh - or as long as they do not dry out."
