A man who instructs in his will to be buried in a particular place

Hisham said: Urwah left instructions: "Do not bury me in al-Baqi'," for (he said): "If he (the one buried there) is a believer, I do not like to make things narrow for him, and if he is a sinner, I do not want to be his companion there."

Abu Ubaydah said: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) left instructions: "Bury me in the grave of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Maz'un (may Allah be pleased with him)."

Sufyan narrates from a man that Khaythamah left instructions: "Bury me near the poor of my people."

Qays said: When death approached Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: "Bury me with the (other) wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), for I did something new after him."

Amr bin Maymun said: Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Go to Mother Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), convey my greetings of peace to her, and say: Umar asks permission to be buried with his two companions." When Abdullah came to her, he found her sitting and weeping. He greeted her with peace and said: "Umar asks permission to be buried with his two companions." She said: "By Allah, I had kept that place for myself, but today I will prefer Umar over myself."
