It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral of an Ansari man was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered his funeral prayer and then inquired: "What has he left behind?" The companions replied: "He has left behind two or three dinars." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He has left behind two or three scars."

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Al-Ada’ says that I heard from Hazrat Abu Umamah, who narrates a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that a man passed away and left behind one or two dinars. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He has left behind one stain or two stains.

Hazrat Abdullah narrates that a black slave met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he passed away. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was informed about him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: See, has he left anything behind? The companions replied: He has left two dinars. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These are two stains.

Hazrat Buraid bin Asram narrates that I heard from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him, may Allah honor his face) that he said: One of the people of Suffah passed away. The companions said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! He has left behind one dinar and one dirham." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are two stains. You perform the funeral prayer of your companion."

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that a Jewish woman came to me and gifted me some perfume. She said, "May Allah protect you from the punishment of the grave." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that I thought about this in my heart. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came, I asked him, "O Messenger of Allah! Is there punishment in the grave?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Yes, indeed, they are punished in their graves, and animals hear it."

A narration similar to this has been reported from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Seek refuge with Allah from Hell, seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave, seek refuge with Allah from the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal), and seek refuge with Allah the Pure from the trials of this world and the Hereafter.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely this Ummah will be subjected to punishment in the graves. If you people did not stop burying the dead, I would pray to Allah the Exalted that He make you hear the punishment of the grave which I hear. Then he turned towards us and said: Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave. We submitted: We seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah that Hazrat Umm Habibah supplicated in this way: O Allah! Grant me benefit from my husband Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), my father Abu Sufyan, and my brother Muawiyah. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, you have asked Allah regarding those decrees which have already been decided, those days which have already been numbered, and that sustenance which has already been distributed. Nothing will happen before or after its appointed time by its own planning. If you had asked Allah for salvation from the punishment of Hell and salvation from the punishment of the grave, that would have been better and more virtuous.

Hazrat Muslim bin Abi Bakrah narrates from his father that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to supplicate after prayer as follows: O Allah! I seek refuge from disbelief, poverty, and the torment of the grave.
