Hadith.402 - The Messenger of Allah (sw) passed by a grave where its occupant was being punished. He requested a palm branch, split it into two halves, and placed one at the head and the other at the feet of the grave.
It is narrated that the
person in the grave was Qays ibn Fahd al-Ansari (in another narration: Qays ibn Qumayr)
When asked why he placed the branches,
He (sw) replied: "Indeed, the punishment is lessened as long as they remain green."

كَانَ قَيْسَ بْنَ فَهْدٍ اَلْأَنْصَارِيَّ. وَ رُوِيَ: « قَيْسَ بْنَ قُمَيْرٍ » وَ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ لِمَ وَضَعْتَهُمَا فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُ اَلْعَذَابُ مَا كَانَتَا خَضْرَاوَيْنِ.
