Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were present with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at a funeral. When we came near the grave, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down at the edge of the grave and began to look inside it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The believer is pressed in the grave to such an extent that the bones of his shoulders and chest are displaced from their places, and the grave of the disbeliever is filled with fire. Shall I not tell you who are the worst among the servants of Allah? They are those who are ill-tempered and arrogant. And shall I not also tell you who are the best servants of Allah? They are those weak and poor ones who wear two worn-out garments, whom people also consider weak, but if they swear by Allah, He fulfills their oath.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When Abdullah bin Ubayy (the hypocrite) died, his son came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! If you do not come to him, we will always be taunted. So when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived there, he saw that he had already been placed in the grave. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why did you not call me before placing him in the grave? Then he was taken out of the grave, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied his saliva from his head to his feet and dressed him in his own shirt.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: In the Battle of Uhud, my father was martyred. My sisters gave me a camel and said: Go and bring our father's body on this camel and bury him in the graveyard of Banu Salamah. So I and my helper went, but when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to know of this, while he was sitting at Uhud, he called me and said: By the One in Whose hand is my soul! He will be buried with his (martyred) brothers. Thus, he was buried with his companions.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: May Allah destroy the Jews and Christians; they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration.

(Second chain) The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: May Allah destroy the Jews; they turned the graves of their prophets into mosques.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah curse the Jews or destroy them; they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration.

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Call my companions to me. So they came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) removed the cloth from his head and said: May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians; they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration.

(Second chain) There is a similar narration, except that in it: When the companions came, at that time the Prophet (peace be upon him) was wrapped in a Yemeni-made Ma'afiri cloak; in this narration, the word "Christians" is not mentioned.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Do not make my grave an idol. May Allah curse those people who made the graves of their prophets places of prostration.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not make my grave a place of festival, and do not make your homes into graveyards. Wherever you may be, send blessings upon me, for indeed your blessings will reach me.
