كتاب الجنائزThe Book of Al-Janaiz (Funerals)
بَابُ مَنْ يُقَدَّمُ فِي اللَّحْدِ:
Chapter. Who should be put first in the Lahd (a side extension of a grave) and it is called Lahd because it is to the side. If it is a straight one (i.e. has no side extension), it is called Darih.
Hadith 1347
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُقَاتِلٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ قَتْلَى أُحُدٍ فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ : أَيُّهُمْ أَكْثَرُ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ ؟ ، فَإِذَا أُشِيرَ لَهُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا قَدَّمَهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ , وَقَالَ : أَنَا شَهِيدٌ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ ، وَأَمَرَ بِدَفْنِهِمْ بِدِمَائِهِمْ ، وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَلَمْ يُغَسِّلْهُمْ " .
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: Allah's Apostle shrouded every two martyrs of Uhud in one piece of cloth and then he would ask, "Which of them knew more Qur'an?" When one of them was pointed out he would put him first in the grave. He said, "I am a witness on these." Then he ordered them to be buried with blood on their bodies. Neither did he offer their funeral prayer nor did he get them washed.
وَسُمِّيَ اللَّحْدَ لِأَنَّهُ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ وَكُلُّ جَائِرٍ مُلْحِدٌ مُلْتَحَدًا مَعْدِلًا وَلَوْ كَانَ مُسْتَقِيمًا كَانَ ضَرِيحًا .
Imam Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, said that a side grave is called "lahd" because it is in a corner, and every «جائر» (a thing that is displaced from its place) is called "mulhid." From this is the word «ملتحدا» (in Surah Al-Kahf), meaning a corner of refuge. And if the grave is straight (box-shaped), then it is called «ضريح».

Hadith 1348
أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لِقَتْلَى أُحُدٍ : أَيُّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَكْثَرُ أَخْذًا لِلْقُرْآنِ ؟ , فَإِذَا أُشِيرَ لَهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ قَدَّمَهُ فِي اللَّحْدِ قَبْلَ صَاحِبِهِ ، وَقَالَ جَابِرٌ : فَكُفِّنَ أَبِي وَعَمِّي فِي نَمِرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ .
(Jabir bin `Abdullah added): Allah's Apostle used to ask about the martyrs of Uhud as to which of them knew more of the Qur'an." And when one of them was pointed out as having more of it he would put him first in the grave and then his companions. (Jabir added): My father and my uncle were shrouded in one sheet.
Hadith 1349
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : " حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ مَكَّةَ فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلَا لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي ، أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا ، وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا ، وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا ، وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُعَرِّفٍ " ، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ لِصَاغَتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا ؟ ، فَقَالَ : إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ ، وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : لِقُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا ، وَقَالَ أَبَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ : عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتِ شَيْبَةَ ، سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِثْلَهُ ، وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ : عَنْ طَاوُسٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا لِقَيْنِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِهِمْ .
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, "Allah has made Mecca a sanctuary (sacred place) and it was a sanctuary before me and will be so after me. It was made legal for me (to fight in it) for a few hours of the day. None is allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its fallen things except by a person who announces it publicly." On that Al-Abbas said (to the Prophet), "Except Al- Idhkhir for our goldsmiths and for our graves." And so the Prophet added, "Except Al-Idhkhir. " And Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, "Except Al-Idhkhir for our graves and houses." And Ibn `Abbas said, "For their goldsmiths and houses."
وَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ : حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ سَمِعَ جَابِرًا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ .
And Sulaiman bin Kathir narrated that Az-Zuhri narrated to me, from the person who heard from Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both).
