Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

Once the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam), while passing through one
of the grave-yards of Medina or Makkah heard the voices of two persons who
were being tortured in their graves. The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa
Sallam) said, "These two persons are being tortured not for a major sin (to
avoid)." The Prophet then added, "Yes! (they are being tortured for a major
sin). Indeed, 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 (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) then asked for
a green leaf of a date-palm tree, broke it into two pieces and put one on
each grave. On being asked why he had done so, he replied, "I hope that
their torture might be lessened, till these get dried."
