It was narrated that: The Messenger of Allah passed by one of the gardens of Makkah or Al-Madinah and heard the sound of two men being tormented in their graves. The Messenger of Allah said: "They are being punished but they are not being punished for anything that was difficult to avoid." Then he said: "Indeed, one of them used not to take care to avoid getting urine on his body or clothes, and the other used to walk around spreading gossip." They he called for a palm stalk which he broke in two and placed a piece of it on each grave. It was said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, why did you do that?" He said: "May it be reduced for them so long as this does not dry out" or: "until this dries out."

Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Messenger Of Allah Said: "When The Deceased - Or He Said When One Of You - Is Buried, Two Angels, Black And Blue (Eyed_ Come To Him. One Of Them Is Called Al-Munkar, And The Other An-Nakir. They Say: 'What Did You Used To Say About This Man?' So He Says What He Was Saying (Before Death) 'He Is Allah'S Slave And His Messenger. I Testify That None Has The Right To Be Worshipped But Allah And That Muhammad Is His Slave And His Messenger.' So They Say: 'We Knew That You Would Say This.' Then His Grave Is Expanded To Seventy By Seventy Cubits, Then It Is Illuminated For Him. Then It Is Said To Him: 'Sleep.' So He Said: 'Can I Return To My Family To Inform Them?' They Say: 'Sleep As A Newlywed, Whom None Awakens But The Dearest Of His Family.' Until Allah Resurrects Him From His Resting Place.""If He Was A Hypocrite He Would Say: 'I Heard People Saying Something, So I Said The Same; I Do Not Know.' So They Said: 'We Knew You Would Say That.' So The Earth Is Told: 'Constrict Him.' So It Constricts Around Him, Squeezing His Ribs Together. He Continues Being Punished Like That Until Allah Resurrects Him From His Resting Place."
