Ibn Abbas (رضی اللہ عنہما) bataate hain: Nabi ek baar do qabron ke paas se guzre aur farmaya: "Yeh (marhoom) kisi badi cheez (se bachne mein kotahi) ke liye azaab nahi paa rahe."

(Ibn Abbas ne joda:) Phir Aap ne khajoor ka ek hara patta liya, use do tukdon mein baanta aur har qabar par ek tukda gaad diya, aur kaha: "Shayad unka azaab kam ho jaaye jab tak yeh (patte) sukh na jaayein."
