Volume 2, Book 23, Number 443:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
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.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle used to invoke (Allah): “Allahumma ini a’udhu bika min ‘adhabi-l-Qabr, wa min
‘adhabi-nnar, wa min fitnati-l-mahya wa-lmamat, wa min fitnati-l-masih ad-dajjal. (O Allah! I seek
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)

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet once passed by two graves and said, “They (the deceased persons in those graves) are
being tortured not for a great thing to avoid.” And then added, “Yes, (they are being punished for a
big sin), for one of them used to go about with calumnies while the other never saved himself from
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.”

Allah’s Apostle shrouded every two martyrs of Uhud in one piece of cloth and then he would ask,
“Which of them knew more Quran?” When one of them was pointed out he would put him first in
the grave. He said, “I am a witness on these.” Then he ordered them to be buried with blood on their
bodies. Neither did he offer their funeral prayer nor did he get them washed. (Jabir bin Abdullah ad –
ded): Allah’s Apostle used to ask about the martyrs of Uhud as to which of them knew more of the

Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The Prophet said, “Allah has made Mecca a sanctuary (sacred place) and it was a sanctuary before
me and will be so after me. It was made legal for me (to fight in it) for a few hours of the day. None is
allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its fallen
things except by a person who announces it publicly.” On that Al-Abbas said (to the Prophet), “Ex –
cept Al-Idhkhir for our goldsmiths and for our graves.” And so the Prophet added, “Except Al-Id –
hkhir. ” And Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, “Except Al-Idhkhir for our graves and
houses.” And Ibn Abbas said, “For their goldsmiths and houses.”
