Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 12155 — Levelling the grave, and reports
١٢١٥٥ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن أشعث عن ابن (أشوع) (١) عن حنش (الكناني) (٢) قال: دخل (عليّ) (٣) على صاحب شرطة فقال: انطلق فلا تدع زخرفًا إلا ألقيته (ولا قبرًا) (٤) إلا سويته ثم (دعاه) (٥) فقال: هل تدري إلى أين (بعثتك) (٦)؟ بعثتك إلى ما بعثني عليه رسول اللَّه ﷺ (٧).
Hanash al-Kinani says that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) went to the chief of the police and said to him: "Go, and do not leave any ornamentation without bringing it down, and do not leave any grave without levelling it." Then he called him back and asked: "Do you know for what task I have sent you? I have sent you for the task for which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me."
