ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْأَشْيَاءَ النَّامِيَةَ الَّتِي لَا رُوحَ فِيهَا تُسَبِّحُ مَا دَامَتْ رَطْبَةً

[Machine] We used to walk with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we passed by two graves. He stood up and we stood up with him, and his face changed color until his shirt was moistened. We said, "What is the matter, O Prophet of Allah?" He said, "Do you not hear what I hear?" We said, "What is that, O Prophet of Allah?" He said, "These two men are being punished in their graves with a severe punishment for a minor sin." We said, "What did they do, O Prophet of Allah?" He said, "One of them used not to protect himself from urine and the other used to harm people with his tongue and spread gossip among them." Then he called for two fresh palm tree leaves and placed one on each grave. We said, "Will that benefit them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes, it will lighten their punishment as long as they remain moist."  

كُنَّا نَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى قَبْرَيْنِ فَقَامَ فَقُمْنَا مَعَهُ فَجَعَلَ لَوْنُهُ يَتَغَيَّرُ حَتَّى رَعَدَ كُمُّ قَمِيصِهِ فَقُلْنَا مَا لَكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «مَا تَسْمَعُونَ مَا أَسْمَعُ؟ » قُلْنَا وَمَا ذَاكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «هَذَانِ رَجُلَانِ يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي قُبُورِهِمَا عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا فِي ذَنْبٍ هَيِّنٍ» قُلْنَا مِمَّ ذَلِكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «كَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا لَا يَسْتَنْزِهُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ وَكَانَ الْآخَرُ يُؤْذِي النَّاسَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَيَمْشِي بَيْنَهُمْ بِالنَّمِيمَةِ» فَدَعَا بِجَرِيدَتَيْنِ مِنْ جَرَائِدِ النَّخْلِ فَجَعَلَ فِي كُلِّ قَبْرٍ وَاحِدَةً قُلْنَا وَهَلْ يَنْفَعُهُمَا ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ يُخَفِّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا دَامَا رَطْبَتَيْنِ»
