The woman who buries alive her new-born girl and the girl who is buried alive both will go to Hell.
This tradition has also been transmitted by Ibn Mas’ud from the Prophet (May peace be upon him) to the same effect through a different chain of narrators.
When the dead body. is placed in the grave, he listens to the sound of the shoes (as his friends and relatives return after burying him).
She reported on the authority of her paternal uncle: I asked the Prophet (ﷺ): Who are in Paradise? He replied: Prophets are in Paradise, martyrs are in Paradise, infants are in Paradise and children buried alive are in Paradise.
a Jewish woman came to her and asked her to give her something, so 'Aishah gave her something, and she said: "May Allah protect you from the torment of the grave." 'Aishah said:" She made me worried, until the Messenger of Allah came and I mentioned that to him. He said: 'They are tormented in their graves with a torment that the animals hear."'
It was mentioned before `Aisha that Ibn `Umar attributed the following statement to the Prophet (ﷺ) "The
dead person is punished in the grave because of the crying and lamentation Of his family." On that,
`Aisha said, "But Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, 'The dead person is punished for his crimes and sins while his
family cry over him then." She added, "And this is similar to the statement of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he
stood by the (edge of the) well which contained the corpses of the pagans killed at Badr, 'They hear
what I say.' She added, "But he said now they know very well what I used to tell them was the truth."
`Aisha then recited: 'You cannot make the dead hear.' (30.52) and 'You cannot make those who are in
their Graves, hear you.' (35.22) that is, when they had taken their places in the (Hell) Fire.
