Muwatta 509

A report that Malik transmits from Yahya ibn Sa'id from Amra bint Abd al-Rahman from Aisha, in the chapter on practice at the eclipse prayer: a Jewish woman came to ask her, and said, "May God protect you from the punishment of the grave". Aisha asked the Prophet ﷺ whether people are punished in their graves, and he sought refuge in God from that. One morning he rode out on a mount and the sun was eclipsed. He came back in the forenoon, passed among the rooms, then stood to pray, and the people stood behind him. He prolonged the standing and bowing, then stood and bowed less than before, then prostrated, and did the same in the second rak'a. When he finished he said what God willed him to say, and then ordered them to seek refuge from the punishment of the grave. The editor cites al-Bukhari, Abu Awana, al-Tahawi, al-Shafi'i and al-Bayhaqi from Malik's transmitters, and refers to al-Tamhid. ¹
