Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Allah's Apostle passed by two graves and said, Both of them (persons in the grave) are being tortured, and they are not being tortured for a major sin. This one used not to save himself from being soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (among the people to rouse hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells him that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil things). The Prophet then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted one on each grave and said, It is hoped that their punishment may be abated till those two pieces of the leaf get dried. (See Hadith No 215, Vol 1).

But when the man entered, the Prophet spoke to him in a very polite manner. (And when that person left) I said, O Allah's Apostle! You had said what you had said, yet you spoke to him in a very polite manner? The Prophet said, O `Aisha! The worst people are those whom the people desert or leave in order to save themselves from their dirty language or from their transgression.

The Prophet said, They are being punished, but they are not being punished because of a major sin, yet their sins are great. One of them used not to save himself from (being soiled with) the urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (Namima). Then the Prophet asked for a green palm tree leaf and split it into two pieces and placed one piece on each grave, saying, I hope that their punishment may be abated as long as these pieces of the leaf are not dried.
