[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by on a very hot day towards Baqi' Al-Gharqad, and the people were walking behind him. When he heard the sound of their footsteps and noticed their close proximity, he halted until they passed in front of him so as not to feel any arrogance in his heart. When the Prophet ﷺ passed by Baqi' Al-Gharqad, he saw two graves in which two men were buried. The Prophet ﷺ stood and asked, "Who was buried here today?" They replied, "O Prophet of Allah, it is Fulan and Fulan." He said, "Indeed, they are being punished now and being tested in their graves." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the reason?" He said, "One of them used to walk with slander, and the other did not keep himself clean from urine." Then he took a green leaf and split it into two and placed it on top of the two graves. They asked, "O Prophet of Allah, why did you do this?" He said, "To lighten their punishment." They asked, "O Prophet of Allah, how long will they be punished?" He said, "It is unknown except by Allah." He said, "If it were not for you feeling hardened in your hearts or being increased in speaking, you would have heard what I hear."
مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي يَوْمٍ شَدِيدِ الْحَرِّ نَحْوَ بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ يَمْشُونَ خَلْفَهُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ صَوْتَ النِّعَالِ وَقَرَّ ذَلِكَ نَفْسَهُ فَحَبَسَ حَتَّى قَدَّمَهُمْ أَمَامَهُ لِئَلَّا يَقَعَ فِي قَلْبِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِبَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ إِذَا بِقَبْرَيْنِ قَدْ دَفَنُوا فِيهِمَا رَجُلَيْنِ فَوَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «مَنْ دَفَنْتُمْ هَهُنَا الْيَوْمَ؟» قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ فُلَانُ قَالَ «إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ الْآنَ وَيُفْتَنَانِ فِي قَبْرَيْهِمَا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ «أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَكَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ وَأَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَكَانَ لَا يَتَنَزَّهُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ» وَأَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً رَطْبَةً فَشَقَّهَا ثُمَّ جَعَلَهَا عَلَى الْقَبْرَيْنِ قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَلِمَ فَعَلْتَ؟ قَالَ «لِيُخَفِّفَ عَنْهُمَا» قَالُوا يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ وَحَتَّى مَتَى يُعَذَّبَانِ؟ قَالَ «غَيْبٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللهُ» قَالَ «وَلَوْلَا تَمْرِيجًا فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ أَوْ تَزَيُّدُكُمْ فِي الْحَدِيثِ سَمِعْتُمْ مَا أَسْمَعُ»
