soiled with his urine, and the other used to go about with calumnies (among the people to rouse
hostilities, e.g., one goes to a person and tells him that so-and-so says about him such-and-such evil
things). The Prophet (ﷺ) then asked for a green leaf of a date-palm tree, split it into two pieces and planted
one on each grave and said, “It is hoped that their punishment may be abated till those two pieces of
the leaf get dried.” (See Hadith No 215, Vol 1).
Sahih al-Bukhari 5823 (Book 78, Hadith 82)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
