9. Funerals
٩۔ كِتَابُ الْجَنَائِزِ
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanding it to be leveled, the wording of the Hadith of Al-Rudhbari and in another narration of Abu Salih, Thumama ibn Shufay narrated that he said: We were with Fadalah ibn 'Ubayd in the land of Rome, and the rest is equal.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺيَأْمُرُ بِتَسْوِيَتِهَا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الرُّوذْبَارِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي صَالِحٍ أَنَّ ثُمَامَةَ بْنَ شُفَيٍّ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ بِأَرْضِ الرُّومِ وَالْبَاقِي سَوَاءٌ
[Machine] Ali ibn Abi Talib said to me, "I send you on what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me, that you do not leave a raised grave without leveling it, and do not leave a statue in a house without erasing it."
قَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺأَنْ لَا تَتْرُكَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ وَلَا تِمْثَالًا فِي بَيْتٍ إِلَّا طَمَسْتَهُ
[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ and his two companions with three graves that had no marker and were leveled with the ground in the red sand of Al-'Arsah. I saw that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was ahead and Abu Bakr's head was between the shoulders of the Prophet ﷺ , and Umar's head was at the feet of the Prophet ﷺ . The head of Uthman ibn Hanif, said by more than one person, was at the feet of the Prophet ﷺ , according to Ibn Abi Fudayk.
قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺوَصَاحِبَيْهِ فَكَشَفَتْ لِي عَنْ ثَلَاثَةِ قُبُورٍ لَا مُشْرِفَةٍ وَلَا لَاطِئَةٍ مَبْطُوحَةٍ بِبَطْحَاءِ الْعَرْصَةِ الْحَمْرَاءِ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺمُقَدَّمًا وَأَبَا بَكْرٍ ؓ رَأْسُهُ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺوَعُمَرَ ؓ رَأْسُهُ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ هُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ هَانِئٍ قَالَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي فُدَيْكٍ
[Machine] I entered the house where the grave of the Prophet ﷺ is located, along with Mus'ab ibn al-Zubayr, and I saw their graves lined up.
دَخَلْتُ مَعَ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ الْبَيْتَ الَّذِي فِيهِ قَبْرُ النَّبِيِّ ﷺفَرَأَيْتُ قُبُورَهُمْ مُسْتَطِيرَةً
