Hadith 24178

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ شَقِيقٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهَا يَهُودِيَّةٌ اسْتَوْهَبَتْهَا طِيبًا ، فَوَهَبَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ ، فَقَالَتْ : أَجَارَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ، قَالَتْ : فَوَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَتْ : فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّ لِلْقَبْرِ عَذَابًا ؟ ! قَالَ : " نَعَمْ ، إِنَّهُمْ لَيُعَذَّبُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ عَذَابًا تَسْمَعُهُ الْبَهَائِمُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once a Jewish woman came to us. She asked me for some perfume, and I gave it to her. She said, "May Allah protect you from the punishment of the grave." She (Aisha) says that this statement settled in my heart. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, I mentioned this incident to him and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is there punishment in the grave as well?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Yes! People are punished in their graves, which the beasts and animals hear."
