Volume 8

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 377:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Two old ladies from among the Jewish ladies entered upon me and said’ “The dead are punished in
their graves,” but I thought they were telling a lie and did not believe them in the beginning. When
they went away and the Prophet entered upon me, I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Two old ladies..” and
told him the whole story. He said, “They told the truth; the dead are really punished, to the extent
that all the animals hear (the sound resulting from) their punishment.” Since then I always saw him
seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave in his prayers.

Volume 8, Book 75, Number 379:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
The Prophet used to say, “O Allah! I seek refuge with You from laziness and geriatric old age, from
all kinds of sins and from being in debt; from the affliction of the Fire and from the punishment of
the Fire and from the evil of the affliction of wealth; and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of
poverty, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of Al-Mesiah Ad-Dajjal. O Allah! Wash away
my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all the sins as a white garment is
cleansed from the filth, and let there be a long distance between me and my sins, as You made East
and West far from each other.”
