Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Mubashshir (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to me while I was in a garden of Banu Najjar. There were some graves there of those who had died in the days of ignorance, and the punishment being inflicted upon them was made audible to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). So he left from there saying: "Seek Allah's refuge from the punishment of the grave." I said: O Messenger of Allah! Are they being punished in their graves? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Yes! They are being punished with such a punishment that even animals can hear it."
