أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ فَقَالَ مَتَی مَاتَ هَذَا قَالُوا مَاتَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَسُرَّ بِذَلِکَ وَقَالَ لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَکُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 2064
It was narrated from Anas that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم heard a sound from a grave and said: “When did this man die?” They said: “He died during the Jahiliyyah.” So he was delighted and said: “Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would have prayed to Allah to make you hear the torment of the grave.” (Sahih)
