ahmad:20373Abū Saʿīd a freed slave of Banī Hāshim > al-Aswad b. Shaybān > Baḥr b. Marrār > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Bakarah > Abū Bakarah > Baynā

[Machine] While I was walking with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, holding my hand and a man on his left, we came across two graves in front of us. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "They are being punished, but they are not being punished for something major. Yes, they are being punished for something major. Who among you can bring me a leaf?" So we raced to bring a leaf, and I reached it before him and brought him a leaf. He broke it into two halves and threw one onto one grave and the other onto the other grave, saying, "Their punishment will be made lighter for as long as these leaves still remain moist, and they are punished for committing sins related to urine and backbiting."  

أحمد:٢٠٣٧٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ حَدَّثَنَا بَحْرُ بْنُ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكَرَةَ قَالَ

بَيْنَا أَنَا أُمَاشِي رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِيَدِي وَرَجُلٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِقَبْرَيْنِ أَمَامَنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ وَبَلَى فَأَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِجَرِيدَةٍ؟ فَاسْتَبَقْنَا فَسَبَقْتُهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بِجَرِيدَةٍ فَكَسَرَهَا نِصْفَيْنِ فَأَلْقَى عَلَى ذَا الْقَبْرِ قِطْعَةً وَعَلَى ذَا الْقَبْرِ قِطْعَةً وَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يُهَوَّنُ عَلَيْهِمَا مَا كَانَتَا رَطْبَتَيْنِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ إِلَّا فِي الْبَوْلِ وَالْغِيبَةِ
