When Nabi (Alayhis salaam) once passed through a Qabrastaan, he saw some newly made graves. When he went near to the graves it was revealed to him that the inmates were being severely punished. He made Du’a for them, then proceeded with his journey. On his return he saw that the same graves had caved in, unkept and desolate. It was a forlorn sight. When he went near to the graves, it was revealed to him that all had been forgiven and were in enjoyment in gardens of flowers.
Bewildered and astonished, Nabi Isaa (Alayhis salaam) supplicated: “O Allah! After death they had not rendered any good deeds. What is the reason for their forgiveness?” Allah Ta’ala revealed: “When their graves became dilapidated and desolate, and there was no one to show any concern for them, I became merciful on them and forgave them.”
