00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 
			Is a Muslim allowed to go to a
00:00:01 --> 00:00:03 
			grave and put flowers on the grave? The
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 
			prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam pointed to 2 people
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 
			at the grave, and he said they're being
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 
			punished but not for something major. One of
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 
			them, he wasn't cautious about cleaning up urine
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 
			after going to the bathroom. And this other
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 
			man was gossiping. It's forbidden to go around
00:00:16 --> 00:00:19 
			gossiping like this. Then the prophet sallallahu alaihi
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21 
			wa sallam took a branch, and he placed
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23 
			it on their graves.
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25 
			And he said perhaps that this will decrease
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 
			the punishment as long as they say green.
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 
			Why? Because of the tasbih of green things.
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 
			Things that are alive have a type of
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 
			consciousness in which they make tasbih. They praise
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 
			Allah. Tasbih means they're praising Allah. So therefore,
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39 
			that's a sunnah there that
