Narrated Masruq: `Aisha said that a Jewess came to her and mentioned the punishment in the grave, saying to her, May Allah protect you from the punishment of the grave. `Aisha then asked Allah's Apostle about the punishment of the grave. He said, Yes, (there is) punishment in the grave. `Aisha added, After that I never saw Allah's Apostle but seeking refuge with Allah from the punishment in the grave in every prayer he prayed.
