Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Saeed narrates that I was walking with Hazrat Abdullah in Jabana, and he said: I prefer to walk on burning coals that would be extinguished by it, rather than to walk over graves.

Hazrat Abu Bakrah says that to extinguish burning coals by walking over them is more preferable to me than to trample a grave with my feet.

Hazrat Salim Abi Abdullah Al-Barrad narrates that I heard Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) say: "I would prefer to walk on burning coals until they are extinguished rather than to step over the grave of a Muslim."

Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir says that I would prefer to walk on burning coals or the edge of a sword until my feet are scorched rather than walk on the grave of a Muslim. In my view, relieving oneself in a graveyard and doing so in the marketplace among people while they are watching are equal.

Hasan and Muhammad disliked sitting on graves and walking over them.

Hazrat Imran bin Hadeer narrates that Hazrat Alaa bin Shukhair said: "So-and-so, do you walk over your graves?" I said, "Yes." He said: "Then how is rain sent down upon you?"

Hazrat Burd narrates that Hazrat Makhool disliked sitting on graves and passing over them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade sitting on graves.
