It is narrated from Abdullah bin Harith, he says: I performed Umrah in the company of Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) during the caliphate of either Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). He stayed as a guest at the house of his sister, Sayyida Umm Hani bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her). When he finished Umrah, water was arranged for his bath, so he performed ghusl. When he finished bathing, some people from Iraq came to meet him. They said: O Abu al-Hasan! We have come to ask you about something; we want you to tell us about it. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I think that Sayyiduna Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) must have told you that he was the last person to touch the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? They said: Yes, we have come to ask you about this. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The honor of being the last to touch the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) belonged to Sayyiduna Qutham bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Ibn Jurayj, who says: My father informed me that the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not understand where they should bury the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), until Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that a prophet is buried at the place where he passes away. Thus, the bed of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was removed and the place beneath it was dug for the grave.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, there was one man in Madinah Munawwarah who would make a lahd (niche) grave and another who would make a box-shaped (shaqq) grave. The noble Companions consulted and decided that they would seek guidance (istikhara) from Allah Almighty regarding this matter, and they would send a message to both of them and call them. Whichever one arrived later, they would let him be. So, a message was sent to both, and the one who made the lahd grave arrived first. Thus, they prepared a lahd (niche) grave for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a lahd (niche in the grave) was prepared for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that we did not know about the burial of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) until we heard the sounds of picks at night on Wednesday. The author of Maghazi, Muhammad bin Ishaq, has stated that this hadith was narrated to me by Fatimah bint Muhammad, the wife of Abdullah bin Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away on a Monday, and the burial took place on the night of Wednesday.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a red-colored sheet was placed inside the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is 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 festival, and do not make your homes graveyards, and wherever you are, send blessings upon me, for indeed your blessings reach me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the day Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, everything in Madinah became illuminated. But the day he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, darkness covered everything in Madinah Munawwarah. And we had not yet finished with his (peace and blessings be upon him) burial when we felt a change in our hearts.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When we returned after burying the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Anas! How did your hearts allow you to return after burying the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the earth? (11062). In order to bury that pure body, it was necessary to put soil, but Sayyidah was merely expressing the greatness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and her own grief. Outwardly, Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent, but with the language of his state, he was saying that putting this soil was not acceptable to us either, but what could we do, after all, this was the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
