حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ الْمُنْکَدِرِ سَمِعَ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ قَالَتْ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَجُلٌ عَلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ائْذَنُوا لَهُ بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ أَوْ ابْنُ الْعَشِيرَةِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَلَانَ لَهُ الْکَلَامَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قُلْتَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ ثُمَّ أَلَنْتَ لَهُ الْکَلَامَ قَالَ أَيْ عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ شَرَّ النَّاسِ مَنْ تَرَکَهُ النَّاسُ أَوْ وَدَعَهُ النَّاسُ اتِّقَائَ فُحْشِهِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6055
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Once the Prophet went through the grave-yards of Medina and heard the voices of two humans who were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet said, "They are being punished, but they are not being punished because of a major sin, yet their sins are great. One of them used not to save himself from (being soiled with) the urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (Namima)." Then the Prophet asked for a green palm tree leaf and split it into two pieces and placed one piece on each grave, saying, "I hope that their punishment may be abated as long as these pieces of the leaf are not dried."
