Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12024 — Reports on untying the knots

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was present at the burial of Sayyiduna al-Ala bin al-Hadrami (may Allah be pleased with him). We forgot to untie his knots and buried him in the grave. Then we lifted the bricks from the grave, and we saw nothing in the grave.
