حدثنا ابو عبد الله الاصبهاني، حدثنا الحسن بن الجهم، حدثنا الحسين بن الفرج، حدثنا محمد بن سعد، عن محمد بن عمر قال: حدثني ابو بكر بن عبد الله بن ابي سبرة، عن عاصم بن عبيد الله (2)، عن عبيد الله بن ابي رافع، عن ابيه، قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ يرتاد لاصحابه مقبرة يدفنون فيها، فكان قد طلب نواحي المدينة واطرافها، ثم قال:"امرت بهذا الموضع". يعني البقيع، وكان يقال: بقيع الخبخبة، وكان اكثر نباته الغرقد، وكان اول من قبر هناك عثمان بن مظعون، فوضع رسول الله حجرا عند راسه وقال:"هذا قبر فرطنا"، وكان إذا مات المهاجر بعده قيل: يا رسول الله، اين ندفنه؟ فيقول:"عند فرطنا عثمان بن مظعون" (1).

Ubaydullah bin Abi Rafi' narrates from his father that he said: the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was searching for a burial ground for his Companions. He (peace and blessings be upon him) examined the various outskirts of Madinah, then said: "I have been commanded to (choose) this place," meaning al-Baqi', which used to be called "Baqi' al-Khabkhabah," and "gharqad" (shrubs) grew there in abundance. The first to be buried there was Uthman bin Maz'un. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed a stone at his head and said: "This is the grave of the first of us to go ahead." After that, whenever one of the Muhajirun died and it was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, where shall we bury him?" he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "Next to our forerunner, Uthman bin Maz'un."

Grading: Its chain is "wahin" (extremely weak), as Imam al-Dhahabi stated in the "Talkhis".
Technical note / Defect ('illah): The reason for this weakness is Abu Bakr bin 'Abd Allah bin Abi Sabrah, who is a "matruk" narrator, and Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal accused him of fabricating hadith. Also, his shaykh 'Asim bin 'Ubayd Allah is weak, and the criticism of the hadith scholars regarding Muhammad bin 'Umar al-Waqidi is well known.
