Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْحَارِثِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ عَمْرَةَ، حَدَّثَتْهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَدَّثَتْهَا أَنَّ يَهُودِيَّةً أَتَتْهَا فَقَالَتْ أَجَارَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيُعَذَّبُونَ فِي الْقُبُورِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَائِذًا بِاللَّهِ ‏‏.‏‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَرَجَ مَخْرَجًا فَخَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَخَرَجْنَا إِلَى الْحُجْرَةِ فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْنَا نِسَاءٌ وَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَذَلِكَ ضَحْوَةً فَقَامَ قِيَامًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَكَعَ رُكُوعًا طَوِيلاً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَامَ دُونَ الْقِيَامِ الأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ دُونَ رُكُوعِهِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ ثُمَّ قَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِلاَّ أَنَّ رُكُوعَهُ وَقِيَامَهُ دُونَ الرَّكْعَةِ الأُولَى ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَتَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَعَدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ فِيمَا يَقُولُ ‏‏ "‏‏ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ كَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ ‏‏" ‏‏ ‏‏.‏‏ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ‏‏.‏‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Salamah narrated to us, from Ibn Wahb, from ‘Amr ibn al-Harith, from Yahya ibn Sa‘id, that ‘Amrah told him that ‘A’ishah told her: A Jewish woman came to her and said, “May Allah protect you from the punishment of the grave.” ‘A’ishah said, “O Messenger of Allah, are people punished in their graves?” The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge with Allah. ‘A’ishah said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out, and the sun was eclipsed. We went to the room, and some women gathered with us. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us; it was midmorning. He stood for a long time, then bowed for a long time. He raised his head and stood for less time than his first standing, then bowed for less time than his first bowing, and prostrated. He then stood for the second rak‘ah and did the same, except that his bowing and standing were shorter than in the first rak‘ah. Then he prostrated, and the sun cleared. When he finished, he sat on the pulpit and said, among other things: “People will be tested in their graves like the trial of the Dajjal.” ‘A’ishah said: After that, we used to hear him seeking refuge from the punishment of the grave.
