[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, used to visit a cemetery where his companions were buried. He would explore the outskirts of the city of Medina and its surroundings, then he would say, "I have been instructed about this place," referring to Al-Baqi cemetery, which used to be called Al-Khabkhaba. The most prominent plant there was the Gharkad tree. The first person to be buried there was Uthman ibn Madh'un. The Prophet placed a stone at his head and said, "This is the grave where we will be resurrected." When a migrant companion died after him, the Prophet was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, where shall we bury him?" He would answer, "Beside the grave of Uthman ibn Madh'un."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَرْتَادُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ مَقْبَرَةً يُدْفَنُونَ فِيهَا فَكَانَ قَدْ طَلَبَ نَوَاحِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَأَطْرَافِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ «أُمِرْتُ بِهَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ» يَعْنِي الْبَقِيعَ وَكَانَ يُقَالُ بَقِيعُ الْخَبْخَبَةِ وَكَانَ أَكْثَرُ نَبَاتِهِ الْغَرْقَدَ وَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ قُبِرَ هُنَاكَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَجَرًا عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَقَالَ «هَذَا قَبْرُ فَرْطِنَا» وَكَانَ إِذَا مَاتَ الْمُهَاجِرُ بَعْدَهُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيْنَ نَدْفِنُهُ؟ فَيَقُولُ «عِنْدَ فَرَطِنَا عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ» سنده واه
