From Ibn ’Abbaas (radiyallaahu ’anhumaa) who said:The Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) once passed by two graves and said, “They are being punished, not for something great.” Then he said, “Rather one of them used to spread gossip and carry tales, whilst the other never protected himself from being soiled by his own urine.” Ibn ’Abbaas said: He then took a green leaf and spread it into two pieces and places each piece upon each grave, and then he said, “May their punishment become lightened until these two pieces dry.
