It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a Jewish woman came to her asking for something, and she said: May Allah protect you from the punishment of the grave. So I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Will people be punished in their graves? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I seek refuge with Allah from that punishment." Then one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his ride, and the sun was eclipsed, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from behind the chambers, then stood and began to pray, and the people stood behind him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for a long time, then bowed for a long time, then raised his head and stood for a long time, but a little less than the first standing, then bowed for a long time, but a little less than the first bowing, then raised his head and prostrated. Then he stood for a long time, but a little less than the standing of the first rak'ah, then bowed a long bowing, but a little less than the first bowing, then raised his head and stood for a long time, but a little less than the first standing, then bowed for a long time, but a little less than the first bowing, then raised his head and prostrated. Then, after finishing the prayer, he spoke whatever Allah willed, then he instructed them to seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of the grave.
