Muhammad ibn Isma‘il ibn al-Bakhtari al-Wasiti narrated to us; Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, from Ibrahim ibn Sa‘d, from al-Zuhri, from Salim, from his father, who said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, “Messenger of Allah, my father used to maintain family ties and did such and such. Where is he?” He replied, “In the Fire.” The man seemed troubled by this and asked, “Messenger of Allah, where is your father?” The Messenger of Allah said, “Whenever you pass the grave of a disbeliever, give him the tidings of the Fire.” The Bedouin later became Muslim and said, “The Messenger of Allah has burdened me with a difficult task: whenever I pass the grave of a disbeliever, I give him the tidings of the Fire.”’
