Thumamah says that we set out with Hazrat Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) towards the land of Rome. He was the governor of the place "Darb" on behalf of Hazrat Amir Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). One of our paternal cousins was martyred during this time. Hazrat Fadala (may Allah be pleased with him) led his funeral prayer and stood by his grave. When his body was covered with soil and he saw that we had leveled his grave, he said: "Keep it leveled, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us to level the graves."
