١٦۔ كتاب الجنائز
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abu'r-Rijal Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman heard his mother Amra bint Abd ar-Rahman say, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ cursed both men and women who dug up," meaning those who dug up graves.
تَقُولُ لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمُخْتَفِيَ وَالْمُخْتَفِيَةَ يَعْنِي نَبَّاشَ الْقُبُورِ
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that A'isha, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ used to say, "Breaking the bone of a muslim when he is dead is like breaking it when he is alive." She meant if done in wrong action.
أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَتْ تَقُولُ كَسْرُ عَظْمِ الْمُسْلِمِ مَيْتًا كَكَسْرِهِ وَهُوَ حَىٌّ تَعْنِي فِي الإِثْمِ
