مُسْنَدُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ خَادِمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 94
Anas ibn Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet ﷺ entered one of the gardens of Banū al-Najjār in Madīnah and heard a sound coming from a grave. He enquired: “When was the person in this grave buried?” They replied: “O Messenger of Allah, he was buried during the time of ignorance [before Islam].” He was pleased at this and said: “Were it not that you would cease burying one another, I would have prayed to Allah to let you hear the torment of the grave.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 94
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَائِطًا مِنْ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ لِبَنِي النَّجَّارِ، فَسَمِعَ صَوْتًا مِنْ قَبْرٍ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ: «مَتَى دُفِنَ هَذَا؟» فَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، دُفِنَ هَذَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَأَعْجَبَهُ ذَلِكَ وَقَالَ: «لَوْلَا أَنْ لَا تَدَافَنُوا، لَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْمِعَكُمْ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ».
