Narrated Ibn Abbas:One day while the Prophet [Muhammad (PBUH)] was passing by a graveyard, he heard the voices of two persons who were being tortured in their graves.
The Prophet said, “These two persons are being tortured for a major act.” The Prophet then added, “Yes! (They actually where being tortured for major sins) Indeed, one of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine (Uncleanliness), while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmity between people-slander).”
The Prophet (then asked for a green branch, of the date-palm tree), broke it into two pieces and put one on each grave.
On being asked why he did so, he replied, “I hope that their torture might be lessened, till these get dried.” [Reported by Al-Bukhari]
