Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 827 — Burial

It is narrated from Yazid bin al-Asamm (may Allah have mercy on him) that when his maternal aunt, (the Mother of the Believers) Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), died, he said: "I took my cloak and spread it in her lahd (grave niche), but Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) took hold of it, pulled it out and threw it away."
The chain of this athar (report) is sahih (authentic), and Imam Musaddad recorded it in his Musnad.
