حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَهَنَّادُ بْنُ السَّرِيِّ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ طَاوُسٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَی قَبْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي کَبِيرٍ أَمَّا هَذَا فَکَانَ لَا يَسْتَنْزِهُ مِنْ الْبَوْلِ وَأَمَّا هَذَا فَکَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِعَسِيبٍ رَطْبٍ فَشَقَّهُ بِاثْنَيْنِ ثُمَّ غَرَسَ عَلَی هَذَا وَاحِدًا وَعَلَی هَذَا وَاحِدًا وَقَالَ لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا قَالَ هَنَّادٌ يَسْتَتِرُ مَکَانَ يَسْتَنْزِهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 20
Narrated Ibn Abbas: The Prophet ﷺ passed by two graves. He said: Both (the dead) are being punished, but they are not being punished for a major (sin). One did not safeguard himself from urine. The other carriedtales. He then called for a fresh twig and split it into two parts and planted one part on each grave and said: Perhaps their punishment may be mitigated as long as the twigs remain fresh. Another version of Hannad has: "One of them did not cover himself while urinating. " This version does not have the words: "He did not safeguard himself from urine. "
