The Prophet once passed by two graves, and those two persons (in the graves) were being tortured.
He said, “They are being tortured not for a great thing (to avoid). One of them never saved himself
from being soiled with his urine, while the other was going about with calumnies (to make enmity
between friends). He then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree split it into two pieces and fixed one
on each grave. The people said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why have you done so?” He replied, “I hope that
their punishment may be lessened till they (the leaf) become dry.”

refuge with you from the punishment in the grave and from the punishment in the Hell fire and
from the afflictions of life and death, and the afflictions of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal.”

“We were accompanying a funeral procession in Baqi-I-Gharqad. The Prophet came to us and sat
and we sat around him. He had a small stick in his hand then he bent his head and started scraping
the ground with it. He then said, “There is none among you, and not a created soul, but has place
either in Paradise or in Hell assigned for him and it is also determined for him whether he will be
among the blessed or wretched.” A man said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Should we not depend on what has
been written for us and leave the deeds as whoever amongst us is blessed will do the deeds of a
blessed person and whoever amongst us will be wretched, will do the deeds of a wretched person?”
The Prophet said, “The good deeds are made easy for the blessed, and bad deeds are made easy for the
wretched.” Then he recited the Verses:– “As for him who gives (in charity) and is Allah-fearing And
believes in the Best reward from Allah. ” (92.5-6)

being soiled with his urine.” (Ibn Abbas added): Then he took a green leaf of a date-palm) and split it
into two pieces and fixed one piece on each grave and said, “May their punishment be abated till
these (two pieces) get dry.”

Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, “Whoever intentionally swears falsely by a religion other than Islam,
then he is what he has said, (e.g. if he says, ‘If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,’ he is really a
Jew). And whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same piece of iron
in the Hell Fire.” Narrated Jundab the Prophet said, “A man was inflicted with wounds and he com –
mitted suicide, and so Allah said: My slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Para –
dise for him.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When anyone of you dies, he is shown his place both in the morning and in
the evening. If he is one of the people of Paradise; he is shown his place in it, and if he is from the
people of the Hell-Fire; he is shown his place there-in. Then it is said to him, ‘This is your place till
Allah resurrect you on the Day of Resurrection.”
