Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ibn Jurayj narrates from his father that the companions were uncertain about the burial place of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): where should he be buried? Hazrat Abu Bakr said: I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "A prophet is not moved from his place, and he is buried where he passes away." Thus, the companions moved the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) bed to one side, and his grave was dug at the place of his bed.
