Reports on reeds placed on the niche grave

Al-Sha'bi said: A bundle of reeds was placed on the lahd of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Abu Wa'il said: Amr bin Shurahbil said: (After my death) place a bundle of reeds over me, for I have seen that the Muhajirun (the Companions) preferred it over other things.

Mughirah said: Ibrahim disliked that anything be placed inside the lahd except clean unbaked bricks. He (Mughirah) said: He disliked baked bricks, and he would say: If they do not find unbaked bricks, then (use) reeds.

Abu Ishaq said: Abu Maysarah left the instruction: Place a bundle of wood (reeds) on my grave.

Hisham said: Al-Hasan saw no harm in placing teak or reed wood in the grave, but he disliked baked bricks.
