The Messenger of Allah (s) said: `Isa b. Maryam (as) passed by a grave whose occupant was being punished. Then, he passed by it again the following year, and he was not being punished. So, he said: “O Lord! I passed by this grave last year, and its occupant was being punished. Then, I passed by it this year, and I found that he was not being punished.” So, Allah revealed to him: “O Spirit of Allah! He has a righteous son who rectified a path and sheltered an orphan, so he was forgiven due to what his son had done.” He said: `Isa b. Maryam (as) said to Yahya b. Zakariyya (as): If something true [of evil] is said about you, then know that it is a sin, so ask for Allah’s forgiveness for it. If something false is said about you, then know that a good deed will be recorded for you without needing to toil for it.
