Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38664 — the first to do a thing, and who did
٣٨٦٦٤ - حدثنا أبو بكر الحنفي عن (كثير) (١) بن زيد المديني عن المطلب بن عبد اللَّه بن حنطب قال: لما مات عثمان بن مظعون دفنه رسول اللَّه ﷺ بالبقيع أول من دفن فيه، ثم قال لرجل عنده: "اذهب إلى تلك الصخرة، فأتني بها حتى أضعها عند قبره حتى أعرفه بها"، فمن مات من أهلنا دفناه عنده (٢).
Al-Muttalib bin Abdullah bin Hantab said: When Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had him buried in al-Baqi'. He was the first person to be buried in al-Baqi'. Then he said to a man who was with him: "Bring that rock so that I may place it by his grave and recognise the grave by it." So whoever of our family died, we would bury him beside it.
