Hadith #286
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيَّ يَهُودِيَّةٌ فَذَكَرَتْ عَذَاب
َ الْقَبْرِ فَكَذَّبْتُهَا فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ صَدَقَتْ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَيُعَذَّبُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ الْبَهَائِمُ
English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: 'A woman mentioned to me the punishment of the grave, and I disbelieved her. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered and I asked him. He said: "She spoke the truth. By the One in whose hand is my soul, they are truly being punished in their graves, to the extent that even animals can hear their cries."'
