[2154] 26 - (932) It was narrated from Hishâm that his father said: "It was mentioned in the presence of 'Aishah that Ibn 'Umar attributed to the Prophet ﷺ (the words): 'The deceased is tormented in his gave because of his family's crying (for him). She said: 'He was mistaken; rather the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "He is being tormented because of his faults or sins, while his family are crying for him." This is like his saying: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood over the well of Al-Qalîb on the Day of Badr, in which the slain idolators of Badr were, and said what he said to them: 'They hear what I am saying.' He was mistaken, rather he said: 'They realize that what I used to say to them is true.' Then she recited: "Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear."[1] "But you cannot make hear those who are in graves."[2] He said: Meaning, when they had taken their places in Hell.

26 - (932) حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَرْفَعُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ يُعَذَّبُ فِي قَبْرِهِ بِبُكَاءِ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ» فَقَالَتْ: وَهِلَ، إِنَّمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّهُ لَيُعَذَّبُ بِخَطِيئَتِهِ أَوْ بِذَنْبِهِ، وَإِنَّ أَهْلَهُ لَيَبْكُونَ عَلَيْهِ الْآنَ» وَذَاكَ مِثْلُ قَوْلِهِ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ عَلَى الْقَلِيبِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ، وَفِيهِ قَتْلَى بَدْرٍ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمْ مَا قَالَ «إِنَّهُمْ لَيَسْمَعُونَ مَا أَقُولُ» وَقَدْ وَهِلَ، إِنَّمَا قَالَ: «إِنَّهُمْ لَيَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مَا كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لَهُمْ حَقٌّ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَتْ: {إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتَى} [النمل: 80] {وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُسْمِعٍ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ} [فاطر: 22] يَقُولُ: حِينَ تَبَوَّءُوا مَقَاعِدَهُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ.
