"A virtuous person will be made to sit inside a grave and told that he will be punished with a hundred lashes. He will say that he does not have the strength to bear that punishment. The punishment will be reduced continuously on his insistence till it is brought to a single lash. He will be told that a single lash is the minimum possible. That person will ask the reason for the punishment. He would be told that one day he offered Salaat without Wuzu and passed by a poor man without helping him. The person will be given punishment of one lash and because of which his grave will become full of fire."
