It is narrated in the same way from Hazrat Aamir.

Hazrat Qatadah says that it is narrated from Hasan in the same manner.

Hazrat Hafsa narrates that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Truthful, had made a will that when Zakwan levels her grave, he will be free.

Hazrat Alaa bin Musayyib narrates from his father that the person who will be behind a woman (in her affairs) will be the one who is closest to her.

Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Abzi narrates that when Hazrat Zainab bint Jahsh passed away, Hazrat Umar recited four takbirs in her funeral prayer, and then asked the noble wives who should lower her into the grave. They replied, "Whoever used to come to her during her lifetime should lower her (i.e., the relative from whom she did not observe veiling)."

Hazrat Abu Ishaq narrates from his father, and he from the elders of the Ansar, that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the bodies of Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Haram and Amr bin Jamuh were brought to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bury both of them in the same grave. Indeed, both of them were true friends and companions in the world.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, when two martyrs’ bodies were brought to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to be buried in a single grave, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would ask:“Which of them had memorized more of the Qur’an?”When one of them was indicated, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would place him first in the grave.

Hasan says that burying two persons (bodies) in a single grave is disliked.
