2070. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ passed by one of the gardens of Makkah or Al-Madînah and heard the sound of two men being tormented in their graves. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "They are being punished but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid." Then he said: "Indeed, one of them used not to take care to avoid getting urine on his body or clothes, and the other used to walk around spreading gossip." Then he called for a palm stalk which he broke in two and placed a piece of it on each grave. It was said to him: "O Messenger of Allâh, why did you do that?" He said: "May it be reduced for them so long as this does not dry out" or: "until this dries out." (Sahîh)

Commentary
"That was difficult to avoid": it denotes that for them it was not difficult to avoid, while committing it will be a tremendous burden upon them.
