Hadith 3264
اُردوEn
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: مَا عَلِمْنَا بِدَفْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ صَوْتَ الْمَسَاحِي مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ لَيْلَةَ الْأَرْبَعَاءِ، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ: وَالْمَسَاحِي الْمَرُورُ
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We only came to know of the burial of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when, in the last part of the night of Wednesday, we heard the sounds of shovels and similar tools. Muhammad bin Ishaq says: The meaning of "al-masahi" is shovel.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Two meanings of the word "al-masahi" have been mentioned; it is possible that Ibn Ishaq intended the sound of shovels and the like. In any case, the meaning remains the same.
