al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 19

Translation

✧ We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and he came upon two graves whose occupants were being punished. He said: "They are not being punished for something major." Then he said: "Yes, indeed. One of them used to backbite people, and the other used not to protect himself from his urine." Then he ﷺ took a fresh palm branch or two, broke them, and planted each piece on a grave, saying: "It will be lightened for them as long as these remain fresh," or he said: "as long as they do not dry."
