عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، وَعَنْ قَتَادَةَ أَيْضًا،
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَرَّ بِقَبْرَيْنِ وَهُوَ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ فَحَادَتْ بِهِ، فَقَالَ: حَادَتْ وَحُقَّ لَهَا، إِنَّ صَاحِبَيْ هَذَيْنِ الْقَبْرَيْنِ يُعَذَّبَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِ كَبِيرٍ وَبَلَاءٍ، أَمَّا هَذَا - لِأَحَدِهِمَا - فَكَانَ لَا يَسْتَتِرُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ، وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَكَانَ يَأْكُلُ لُحُومَ النَّاسِ " ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَرِيدَةً مِنْ نَخْلٍ فَغَرَسَ عَلَى كُلِّ قَبْرٍ وَاحِدَةً، فَقِيلَ لَهُ: مَا يَنْفَعُهُمَا هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ: " لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا دَامَا رَطْبَيْنِ
Translation
✧ The Prophet ﷺ passed by two graves while he was on a mule, and it shied with him. He said: 'It shied, and it had a right to. The occupants of these two graves are being punished without a great sin or trial. As for this one—meaning one of them—he used not to protect himself from urine. As for this one, he used to eat people's flesh (backbite).' Then he broke a palm branch and planted one on each grave. It was said to him: 'What benefit will this be to them?' He said: 'Perhaps it will be lightened for them as long as they remain moist.'
