Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أُمِّ مُبَشِّرٍ قَالَتْ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا فِي حَائِطٍ مِنْ حَوَائِطِ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ فِيهِ قُبُورٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ مَاتُوا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَسَمِعَهُمْ وَهُمْ يُعَذَّبُونَ فَخَرَجَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ اسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيُعَذَّبُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ عَذَابًا تَسْمَعُهُ الْبَهَائِمُ.
English Translation
Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, he said: al-A'mash narrated to us, from Abu Sufyan, from Jabir, from Umm Mubashshir, she said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, entered upon me while I was in one of the orchard-enclosures of Banu al-Najjar, in which were graves of people who had died in the pre-Islamic era of ignorance. He heard them being punished, so he came out saying: Seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave. She said: I said, O Messenger of Allah, are they truly being punished in their graves? He said: Yes, a punishment that the animals can hear.
