ahmad:20411Wakīʿ > al-Aswad b. Shaybān > Baḥr b. Marrār > Abū Bakarah

[Machine] I was walking with the Prophet ﷺ when we passed by two graves. He said, "Who will bring me two palm branches?" So, myself and another man rushed and brought two palm branches. He split them into two and placed one on each grave. Then, he said, "Indeed, the punishment will be lightened for them as long as these branches remain fresh. They are being punished in the grave due to backbiting and urine."  

أحمد:٢٠٤١١حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ بَحْرِ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكَرَةَ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَبْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَأْتِينِي بِجَرِيدَةِ نَخْلٍ؟ قَالَ فَاسْتَبَقْتُ أَنَا وَرَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَجِئْنَا بِعَسِيبٍ فَشَقَّهُ بِاثْنَيْنِ فَجَعَلَ عَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدَةً وَعَلَى هَذَا وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا كَانَ فِيهِمَا مِنْ بُلُولَتِهِمَا شَيْءٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ فِي الْغِيبَةِ وَالْبَوْلِ
