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."
