If you were not (to abandon) the burying of the dead (in the grave), I would have certainly supplicated Allah that He should make you listen the torment of the grave.

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنْ لاَ تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

"When died this man die?" They said: "he died during the Jahiliyyah." So he was delighted and said: "Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would have prayed to Allah to make you hear the torment of the grave."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ مَتَى مَاتَ هَذَا قَالُوا مَاتَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنْ لاَ تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ entered a wall of the city of Bani Najjar and heard a voice from a grave, so he asked when was this person buried? They said, "O Messenger of Allah, he was buried in the time of ignorance (before Islam)." He was amazed by that and said, "If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying your dead, I would have asked Allah to let you hear the punishment of the grave."

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ مَتَى دُفِنَ هَذَا؟ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ دُفِنَ هَذَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَالْقَبْرِ

"When died this man die?" They said: "he died during the Jahiliyyah." So he was delighted and said: "Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would have prayed to Allah to make you hear the torment of the grave." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2058)

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِحَائِطٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ مَتَى مَاتَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ؟ قَالُوا مَاتَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ

[AI] 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."

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

[AI] 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."

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

If you were not (to abandon) the burying of the dead (in the grave), I would have certainly supplicated Allah that He should make you listen the torment of the grave. (Using translation from Muslim 2868)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ

[AI] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a date palm tree belonging to the Bani Al-Najjar tribe and heard a sound. He asked, "What is this?" They said, "It is the grave of a man who was buried during the era of ignorance." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying your dead, I would have asked Allah to make you hear the punishment of the grave."

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِنَخْلٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالُوا قَبْرُ رَجُلٍ دُفِنَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ

If you were not (to abandon) the burying of the dead (in the grave), I would have certainly supplicated Allah that He should make you listen the torment of the grave. (Using translation from Muslim 2868)

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُاللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ

[AI] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ : He entered a wall from the walls of Bani Najjar, and he heard a voice from a grave. He said, "When was the person of this grave buried?" They said, "During the time of ignorance." So he was extremely saddened by this and said, "If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying, I would have prayed to Allah to let you hear the punishment of the grave."

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ حَائِطًا مِنْ حَوَائِطِ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ قَالَ «مَتَى دُفِنَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ؟ » فَقَالُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَ « لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ»

If you were not (to abandon) the burying of the dead (in the grave), I would have certainly supplicated Allah that He should make you listen the torment of the grave. (Using translation from Muslim 2868)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ»

"When died this man die?" They said: "he died during the Jahiliyyah." So he was delighted and said: "Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would have prayed to Allah to make you hear the torment of the grave." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2058)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ سَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ «مَتَى مَاتَ هَذَا؟» قَالُوا مَاتَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَسُرَّ بِذَلِكَ وَقَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ»

"عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أنسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ سَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ: مَتَى مَاتَ هَذَا؟ قَالُوا: مَاتَ فِى الجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَكَأنَّهُ أعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ ألَّا تَدَافَنُوا - أوْ كمَا قَالَ - لَدَعَوْتُ الله يُسْمِعُكُمْ عَذَابَ القَبْرِ".
