ahmad:14031ʿAffān > Ḥammād > Thābit And Ḥumayd > Anas

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a cemetery of the Bani Najjar tribe, while riding a pale mule. Suddenly, he saw a grave with its inhabitant being punished. The mule stumbled and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not for the fact that you cannot hear the torment of the grave, I would ask Allah to make you hear it."  

أحمد:١٤٠٣١حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ وَحُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ بِمَقْبَرَةٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فِي حَائِطٍوَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ شَهْبَاءَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِقَبْرٍ يُعَذَّبُ فَحَاصَتِ الْبَغْلَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَسَأَلْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by his gray mule near a wall of Bani Najjar and heard the voices of a people being punished in their graves. The mule stopped, so the Prophet ﷺ said, "If it were not for the fact that you cannot be buried alive, I would have asked Allah to make you hear the punishment of the grave."  

أحمد:١٢٧٩١حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلٌ وَحَسَنٌ الْأَشْيَبُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ حَسَنٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ وَحُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ مَرَّ عَلَى بَغْلَتِهِ الشَّهْبَاءِ بِحَائِطٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَسَمِعَ أَصْوَاتَ قَوْمٍ يُعَذَّبُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ فَحَاصَتِ الْبَغْلَةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَسَأَلْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ

[Machine] The following passage has been translated to English:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was riding a gray mule when he passed by a wall belonging to the Banu Najjar. Suddenly, he saw a grave in which its occupant was being punished. The mule halted and he said, "If you were not to be buried, I would have supplicated to Allah to make you hear the punishment of the grave."  

أحمد:١٢٥٥٣حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ وَحُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ شَهْبَاءَ فَمَرَّ عَلَى حَائِطٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِقَبْرٍ يُعَذَّبُ صَاحِبُهُ فَحَاصَتِ الْبَغْلَةُ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ
