Sayyiduna al-Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I was one of those who dug the blessed grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: We prepared a lahd (side niche). When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had been lowered into the blessed grave, I dropped the axe down, then I said: "The axe, the axe!" Then I went down and placed my hand on the lahd.
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains Mujalid, who is hasan al-hadith (good in hadith), and the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).
