Chapter: Placing Palm Stalks On The Grave
Hadith 2070
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ , قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِحَائِطٍ مِنْ حِيطَانِ مَكَّةَ أَوِ الْمَدِينَةِ ، سَمِعَ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانَيْنِ يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي قُبُورِهِمَا ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ , ثُمَّ قَالَ : بَلَى كَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا لَا يَسْتَبْرِئُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ ، وَكَانَ الْآخَرُ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ " ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بِجَرِيدَةٍ فَكَسَرَهَا كِسْرَتَيْنِ ، فَوَضَعَ عَلَى كُلِّ قَبْرٍ مِنْهُمَا كِسْرَةً , فَقِيلَ لَهُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا ؟ قَالَ : " لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُخَفَّفَ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا أَوْ إِلَى أَنْ يَيْبَسَا " .
´It was narrated that:` The Messenger of Allah passed by one of the gardens of Makkah or Al-Madinah and heard the sound of two men being tormented in their graves. The Messenger of Allah said: "They are being punished but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid." Then he said: "Indeed, one of them used not to take care to avoid getting urine on his body or clothes, and the other used to walk around spreading gossip." They he called for a palm stalk which he broke in two and placed a piece of it on each grave. It was said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, why did you do that?" He said: "May it be reduced for them so long as this does not dry out" or: "until this dries out."
