اخْتِيَارُ اللَّحْدِ عَلَى الشَّقِّ وَتَعْمِيقِ الْقَبْرِ وَتَوْسِيعِهِ وَدَفْنِ الْاثْنَيْنِ وَالثَّلَاثَةِ فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ إِذَا اقْتَضَى الْحَالُ ذَالِكَ
Preferring the niche grave over the trench, deepening and widening the grave, and burying two or three in one grave if necessary
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 3256 — Preferring the niche grave over the trench
عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الْحَدُوا لِي لَحْدًا وَانْصِبُوا عَلَيَّ اللَّبِنَ نَصْبًا كَمَا صُنِعَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Make a lahd (niche) for me and place unbaked bricks over me in the same manner as was done with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
