عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا وَضِعَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا فِي الْقَبْرِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى}، قَالَ: ثُمَّ لَا أَدْرِي أَقَالَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ، وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَمْ لَا، فَلَمَّا بُنِيَ عَلَيْهَا لَحْدُهَا طَفِقَ يَطْرَحُ إِلَيْهِمُ الْجَبُوبَ، وَيَقُولُ: ((سُدُّوا خِلَالَ اللَّبِنِ))، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((أَمَا إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ وَلَكِنَّهُ يَطِيبُ بِنَفْسِ الْحَيِّ))
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), was placed in the grave, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse {مِنْہَا خَلَقْنَاکُمْ … … تَارَۃً أُخْرٰی} (Surah Ta-Ha, 55) (We created you from it (the earth), and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once more). Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I do not know whether after this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this supplication or not: BISMILLAH, WA FI SABILILLAH, WA ‘ALA MILLATI RASULILLAH. (With the name of Allah, in the way of Allah, and according to the way of the Messenger of Allah, we bury). When the grave was sealed with bricks, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw some clay towards the people and said: Fill the gaps between the bricks with this. Then he said: This is not something necessary, but it just gives some comfort to the living.
