English translation
6366. Narrated Āishah: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا Two old ladies from among the Jewish ladies entered upon me and said, "The dead are punished in their graves," but I thought they were telling a lie and did not believe them in the beginning. When they went away and the Prophet ﷺ entered upon me, I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Two old ladies..." and told him the whole story. He said, "They told the truth; the dead are really punished, to the extent that all the animals hear (the sound resulting from) their punishment.” Since then I always saw him seeking refuge with Allāh from the punishment of the grave in his Ṣalāt (prayers).
