Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4325 — The death of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ

وَقَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَلِيٌّ : وَوَلِيَ دَفْنَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَإِخْفَاءَهُ دُونَ النَّاسِ أَرْبَعَةٌ : عَلِيٌّ ، وَالْعَبَّاسُ ، وَالْفَضْلُ ، وَصَالِحٌ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ ، وَأُلْحِدَ لَهُ لَحْدًا ، وَنُصِبَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّبِنُ نَصْبًا .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Four men took charge of all the arrangements for the burial of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and for keeping it hidden from the general public: Ali, al-Abbas, al-Fadl and Salih (may Allah be pleased with them). A lahd (niche grave) was prepared for him (peace and blessings be upon him), and unbaked bricks were set upright over it in proper order."
Imam Musaddad bin Musarhad transmitted this report in his Musnad, and it is mursal (with a missing link) because Sa'id bin al-Musayyib did not hear from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
