What are the authentic hadiths mentioned in Al-Bukhari and Muslim concerning the torment of the grave?
The torment of the grave is a truth established by authentic prophetic traditions (Hadith), including:
1. The Hadith of Ibn Abbas about the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, passing by two graves whose occupants were being tormented; one for not taking precautions against urine splash, and the other for slandering. So he placed a fresh palm branch on each, hoping to alleviate their torment as long as they remained fresh. 2. The Hadith of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, I have seen you being tried in your graves like the trial of the Dajjal." 3. The Prophet's supplication in his prayer: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave."
Furthermore, the torment of the grave is established by the Quran and other Hadiths.
