مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 182
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
“The Prophet ﷺ passed by a garden of Banū al-Najjār and heard a sound from a grave. He asked: ‘When did the occupant of this grave die?’ They said: ‘He died in the time of jāhiliyya.’ He said: ‘Were it not that you would stop burying one another, I would have prayed to Allah to let you hear the torment of the grave.’”

Musnad Aḥmad 182
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِحَائِطٍ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ. فَقَالَ: «مَتَى مَاتَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ؟» قَالُوا: مَاتَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ. فَقَالَ: «لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا، لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ».

Chain: Aḥmad → Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān → Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl → Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) → the Prophet ﷺ. Rijāl: (1) Yaḥyā ibn Saʿīd al-Qaṭṭān al-Baṣrī: thiqa mutqin, d. 198 AH. (2) Ḥumayd ibn Abī Ḥumayd al-Ṭawīl al-Baṣrī: thiqa, d. 142 AH. (3) Anas ibn Mālik: Companion, d. ca. 93 AH. Takhrīj: Muslim (2867); Aḥmad (12123). This is the ṣaḥīḥ transmission of the incident, and the detail that the occupant of the grave had died before Islam is preserved here. The punishment of the grave is affirmed by reports so numerous as to be mutawātir in meaning, and the withholding of the sound from the living is presented as an act of mercy toward them rather than a concealment of the truth.
