حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِقَبْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُمَا لَيُعَذَّبَانِ، وَمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي كَبِيرٍ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَكَانَ لاَ يَسْتَتِرُ مِنَ الْبَوْلِ، وَأَمَّا الآخَرُ فَكَانَ يَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ ‏"‏. ثُمَّ أَخَذَ جَرِيدَةً رَطْبَةً، فَشَقَّهَا نِصْفَيْنِ، فَغَرَزَ فِي كُلِّ قَبْرٍ وَاحِدَةً. قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لِمَ فَعَلْتَ هَذَا قَالَ ‏"‏ لَعَلَّهُ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمَا مَا لَمْ يَيْبَسَا ‏"‏. قَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَحَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا مِثْلَهُ ‏"‏ يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْ بَوْلِهِ ‏"‏.

Narrator: Ibn `Abbas

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) once passed by two graves and said, "These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmity between friends)." The Prophet (ﷺ) then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into (pieces) and fixed one on each grave. They said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you done so?" He replied, "I hope that their punishment might be lessened till these (the pieces of the leaf) become dry." (See the footnote of Hadith)
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাযি.) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেনঃ নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম একদা দু’টি কবরের পাশ দিয়ে অতিক্রম করছিলেন। এ সময় তিনি বললেনঃ এদের ‘আযাব দেয়া হচ্ছে, কোন গুরুতর অপরাধের জন্য তাদের শাস্তি দেয়া হচ্ছে না। তাদের একজন পেশাব হতে সতর্ক থাকত না। আর অপরজন চোগলখোরী করে বেড়াত। তারপর তিনি একখানি কাঁচা খেজুরের ডাল নিয়ে ভেঙ্গে দু’ভাগ করলেন এবং প্রত্যেক কবরের উপর একখানি গেড়ে দিলেন। সাহাবীগণ জিজ্ঞেস করলেন, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! কেন এমন করলেন? তিনি বললেনঃ আশা করা যেতে পারে যতক্ষণ পর্যন্ত এ দু’টি শুকিয়ে না যায় তাদের আযাব কিছুটা হালকা করা হবে। ইবনুল মুসান্না (রহ.) আ‘মাশ (রহ.) বলেনঃ আমি মুজাহিদ (রহ.) হতে অনুরূপ শুনেছি। সে তার পেশাব হতে সতর্ক থাকত। (২১৬) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২১২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
