The punishment of the grave is true
Hadith 116
اَخْبَرَنَا وَکِیْعٌ، نَا الْاَعْمَشُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا یُحَدِّثُ عَنْ طَاؤُوْسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُوْلُ اللّٰهِ صَلَّی اللّٰہُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلٰی قَبَرَیْنِ، فَقَالَ اِنَّهُمَا لَیُعَذَّبَانِ، وَمَا یُعَذَّبَانِ فِی کَبِیْرٍ، اَمَّا اَحَدُہُمَا فَکَانَ یَمْشِیْ بِالنَّمِیْمَةِ، وَاَمَّا الْاٰخَرُ فَکَانَ لَا یَسْتَتِرُ مِنْ بَوْلِهٖ، ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُوْلُ اللّٰہِ صَلَّی اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِعَسِیْبٍ رُطَبٍ، فَشَقَّهٗ بِاِثْنَیْنِ، ثُمَّ غَرَسَ عَلٰی هَذَا وَاحِدًا، وَعَلٰی هَذَا وَاحِدًا وَقَالَ: لَعَلَّهٗ اَنْ یُّخَفِّفَ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ یَیْبَسَا.
Syedna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by two graves and said: "They are being punished, and they are not being punished for a major sin. One of them used to spread gossip, while the other did not protect himself from his urine." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked for a fresh date-palm branch, split it into two parts, and placed one on each grave, and said: "It is hoped that their punishment will be lessened as long as these do not dry out."
