أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ قُدَامَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِحَائِطٍ مِنْ حِيطَانِ مَكَّةَ أَوِ الْمَدِينَةِ سَمِعَ صَوْتَ إِنْسَانَيْنِ يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي قُبُورِهِمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " يُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ " . ثُمَّ قَالَ " بَلَى كَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا لاَ يَسْتَبْرِئُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ وَكَانَ الآخَرُ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ " . ثُمَّ دَعَا بِجَرِيدَةٍ فَكَسَرَهَا كِسْرَتَيْنِ فَوَضَعَ عَلَى كُلِّ قَبْرٍ مِنْهُمَا كِسْرَةً فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا قَالَ " لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يُخَفَّفَ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا أَوْ أَنْ يَيْبَسَا " .
Muhammad ibn Qudamah informed us: Jarir narrated to us, from Mansur, from Mujahid, from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by an enclosure in Mecca or Medina and heard the sound of two people being punished in their graves. He said, They are being punished, and they are not being punished for something grave. Then he said, Indeed, one of them did not take care to avoid urine, and the other used to go about spreading malicious gossip. He then called for a palm stalk, broke it in two, and placed one piece on each grave. He was asked, Messenger of Allah, why did you do that? He replied, Perhaps their punishment will be lightened as long as the pieces have not dried out, or until they dry out.
