"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".

[Machine] 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?"

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."
