"عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: جَاءَ أَعْرَابِىٌّ إِلَى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: إنَّ أَبِى كان يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ، وَكَانَ وَكَانَ، فَأَيْنَ هوَ؟ قَالَ: فِى النَّارِ، فَكَأَنَّ الأَعْرَابِىَّ وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! فَأَيْنَ أبُوكَ؟ قَالَ: حَيْثُمَا مَرَرْتَ بِقَبْرِ كَافِرٍ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِالنَّارِ، فَأَسْلَمَ الأَعْرَابِىُّ بَعدُ، فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ كلَّفَنِى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ تَعَبًا، مَا مَرَرْتُ بِقبْرِ كَافرٍ إلَّا بَشَّرْتُهُ بِالنَّارِ".

ibnmajah:1573 – Muḥammad b. Ismāʿīl b. al-Bakhtarī al-Wāsiṭī > Yazīd b. Hārūn > Ibrāhīm b. Saʿd > al-Zuhrī > Sālim from his father

“A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, my father used to uphold the ties of kinship, and so and so forth, where is he?’ He said: ‘In the Fire.’ It was as if he found that difficult to bear. Then he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah. Where is your father?’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Whenever you pass by the grave of an idolater, give him the tidings of Hell-fire.’ The Bedouin later became Muslim, and he said: ‘The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave me a difficult task. I never passed the grave of an idolater but I gave him the tidings of Hell-fire.’”

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ يَصِلُ الرَّحِمَ وَكَانَ وَكَانَ فَأَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ فَكَأَنَّهُ وَجَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيْنَ أَبُوكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَيْثُمَا مَرَرْتَ بِقَبْرِ كَافِرٍ فَبَشِّرْهُ بِالنَّارِ قَالَ فَأَسْلَمَ الأَعْرَابِيُّ بَعْدُ وَقَالَ لَقَدْ كَلَّفَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَعَبًا مَا مَرَرْتُ بِقَبْرِ كَافِرٍ إِلاَّ بَشَّرْتُهُ بِالنَّارِ
