(حديث موقوف) حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُبَارَكُ ، حَدَّثَنِي حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَلْحَدُ ، وَآخَرُ يَضْرَحُ ، فَقَالُوا : نَسْتَخِيرُ رَبَّنَا ، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمَا ، فَأَيُّهُمَا سَبَقَ تَرَكْنَاهُ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمَا ، فَسَبَقَ صَاحِبُ اللَّحْدِ ، فَأَلْحَدُوا لَهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) departed from this world, at that time in Medina, one person used to dig side graves (luhd) and another used to dig box graves (shaqq). The people thought, "We will seek goodness from our Lord and send one man to each of them; whichever one we do not find, we will leave." So they sent one man to each of them. The one who made the luhd (side grave) was found, and he dug a luhd for the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
