Mishkat al-Masabih 129

Zayd ibn Thābit reported: While the Prophet was in a garden belonging to Banū al-Najjār, riding a mule with us accompanying him, it shied and nearly threw him. There were graves there—six, or five, or four; al-Jurayrī used to say it this way. He asked, ‘Who knows the occupants of these graves?’ A man said, ‘I do.’ He asked, ‘When did these people die?’ The man replied, ‘They died in polytheism.’ He said, ‘This community will be tested in its graves. Were it not that you would stop burying your dead, I would ask God to let you hear some of the punishment of the grave that I hear.’ Then he turned his face toward us and said, ‘Seek refuge in God from the punishment of the Fire.’ They said, ‘We seek refuge in God from the punishment of the Fire.’ He said, ‘Seek refuge in God from the punishment of the grave.’ They said, ‘We seek refuge in God from the punishment of the grave.’ He said, ‘Seek refuge in God from trials, both apparent and hidden.’ They said, ‘We seek refuge in God from trials, both apparent and hidden.’ He said, ‘Seek refuge in God from the trial of the Dajjāl.’ They said, ‘We seek refuge in God from the trial of the Dajjāl.’ Muslim transmitted it.
