Hadith 17560

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي جُبَيْرَةَ ، عن يَعْلَى بْنِ سِيَابَةَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَرَّ بِقَبْرٍ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ يُعَذَّبُ فِي غَيْرِ كَبِيرٍ " ثُمَّ دَعَا بِجَرِيدَةٍ ، فَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ ، فَقَالَ : لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُخَفَّفَ عَنْهُ مَا دَامَتْ رَطْبَةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Ya'la (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a grave and said that the one in this grave is being punished, but not for any major reason. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a branch, placed it on the grave, and said: As long as it remains fresh, it is possible that the punishment will be lightened for him during that time.
