في اللحد للميت (من أمر به) وكره الشق
The niche grave (lahd) for the deceased: those who ordered it and disliked the trench grave
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11984 — The niche grave (lahd)
١١٩٨٤ - حدثنا ابن مهدي عن سفيان عن عبد الرحمن بن القاسم عن أبيه قال: اجتمع أصحاب النبي ﷺ حين مات النبي ﷺ، فكان الرجل يلحد (والآخر) (١) يشق، فقالوا: اللهم (خير) (٢) له، فطلع الذي كان يلحد فلحد له (٣).
Abd al-Rahman bin al-Qasim narrates from his father that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, all the Companions gathered. There was one man who made lahd graves and another who made shaqq graves. The Companions prayed: "O Allah, choose one of them (decide for him)." Then the man who used to dig lahd graves came and dug a lahd grave for him (peace and blessings be upon him).
