Sahih Muslim Book - 5, Hadith - 1321

حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِى وَائِلٍ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ دَخَلَتْ عَلَىَّ عَجُوزَانِ مِنْ عُجُزِ يَهُودِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَتَا إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ يُعَذَّبُونَ فِى قُبُورِهِمْ. قَالَتْ فَكَذَّبْتُهُمَا وَلَمْ أُنْعِمْ أَنْ أُصَدِّقَهُمَا فَخَرَجَتَا وَدَخَلَ عَلَىَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَجُوزَيْنِ مِنْ عُجُزِ يَهُودِ الْمَدِينَةِ دَخَلَتَا عَلَىَّ فَزَعَمَتَا أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ يُعَذَّبُونَ فِى قُبُورِهِمْ فَقَالَ « صَدَقَتَا إِنَّهُمْ يُعَذَّبُونَ عَذَابًا تَسْمَعُهُ الْبَهَائِمُ ». قَالَتْ فَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ بَعْدُ فِى صَلاَةٍ إِلاَّ يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "Two old Jewish women entered upon me and said: 'The people of the graves are being punished in their graves.' I did not believe them, and I did not want to believe them. They left, and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) entered upon me. I said to him: 'O Messenger of Allah, two of the old Jewish women of Al-Madinah entered upon me and said that the people of the graves are being punished in their graves.' He said: 'They spoke the truth. They are being punished with a punishment that the animals can hear."' Then she said: "I never saw him praying after that, but he would seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave."
