Hadith 3232

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : " دُفِنَ مَعَ أَبِي رَجُلٌ ، فَكَانَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَاجَةٌ ، فَأَخْرَجْتُهُ بَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أَشْهُرٍ ، فَمَا أَنْكَرْتُ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ، إِلَّا شُعَيْرَاتٍ كُنَّ فِي لِحْيَتِهِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْأَرْضَ " .
Narrated Jabir: A man was buried with my father. I had a desire at heart for that (place for my burial). So I took him out after six months. I did not find any change (in his body) except a few hair that touched the earth.
