أَخْبَرَنَا هَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ طَاوسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِقَبْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَكَانَ لَا يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَكَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً رَطْبَةً فَشَقَّهَا نِصْفَيْنِ ثُمَّ غَرَزَ فِي كُلِّ قَبْرٍ وَاحِدَةً» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِمَ صَنَعْتَ هَذَا قَالَ «لَعَلَّهُمَا أَنْ يُخَفَّفَ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بَعْضُ حُرُوفِ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ كَمَا أَرَدْتُ

✧ The Prophet ﷺ passed by two graves and said, "They are surely being tormented, and they are not tormented for something major. One of them did not protect himself from his urine, and the other used to spread malicious gossip." Then he took a fresh palm branch, split it in two, and stuck one half into each grave. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, why did you do this?" He said, "Perhaps it will be lightened for them as long as they do not dry out." Abu 'Abd al-Rahman said: Some of the words of Abu Mu'awiyah I did not understand as I wanted.
