I did not hear this hadith from Allah's Apostle ﷺ directly but it was Zaid b. Thabit who narrated it from him. As Allah's Apostle ﷺ was going along with us towards the dwellings of Bani an-Najjar, riding upon his pony, it shied and he was about to fall. He found four, five or six graves there. He said: Who amongst you knows about those lying in the graves? A person said: It is I. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: In what state did they die? He said: They died as polytheists. He said: These people are passing through the ordeal in the graves. If it were not the reason that you would stop burying (your dead) in the graves on listening to the torment in the grave which I am listening to, I would have certainly made you hear that. Then turning his face towards us, he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of Hell. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. They said: We seek refuge with Allah from the torment of the grave. He said: Seek refuge with Allah from turmoil, its visible and invisible (aspects), and they said: We seek refuge with Allah from turmoil and its visible and invisible aspects and he said: Seek refuge with Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal, and they said We seek refuge with Allah from the turmoil of the Dajjal.  

مسلم:٢٨٦٧ – حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ ابْنُ أَيُّوبَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ قَالَ وَأَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ

[Machine] "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a wall from the walls of the city, which had graves. He was riding his she-camel when it misbehaved and almost threw him off. He then asked, 'Who knows the occupants of these graves?' A man replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, they are people who died during the era of ignorance.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying [your deceased], I would have asked Allah to let you hear the punishment of the grave.' Then he said to us, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of Hell.' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of Hell.' Then he said, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah (trial) of the Antichrist (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal).' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah of the Antichrist.' Then he said, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave.' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave.' Then he said, 'Seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah of life and death.' We said, 'We seek refuge in Allah from the Fitnah of life and death.'"

[Machine] While we were at the wall of Bani Najjar with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he was riding a mule, and his mule stumbled. Suddenly, there were graves in the wall. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Who knows these graves?" A man said, "I do, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "Who are they?" The man replied, "They died in shirk (polytheism)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If it were not for the fact that you would stop burying them, I would ask Allah to let you hear the punishment of the grave that I hear. Verily, this Ummah (nation) is tested in their graves." Then he turned his face towards us and said, "Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the Hellfire, the punishment of the grave, and seek refuge with Allah from the trials, whether they appear or remain hidden. Seek refuge with Allah from the deception of the Dajjal (the False Messiah)."
